I roasted some brussel spouts with olive oil and salt, then mixed them with caramelized onions and a little crumbled bacon. So good.
Pomegranates are 99 cents each at Barbur World Foods in SW. It’s a great market to get paneer, dried chilies, and lots of great middle eastern foods.
I had this great lunch special today at Samurai Blue on N Mississippi. Great place - good prices too (for lunch and happy hour, especially). I’ll be back here.
For dinner last night, I made chicken quesadillas with guacamole and red cabbage salad. It took ten minutes to prepare the whole thing: just put a corn tortilla on a hot frying pan, add grated cheese and chunks of cooked chicken (I had leftover roasted chicken), then place another tortilla on top. Heat up for a minute or two, then turn over. Serve when the tortilla is heated and slightly browned, and the cheese is melted. (The guacamole I had made the day before, and for the salad, I just sliced some cabbage and added some vinaigrette dressing).
I made berry trifle for dessert using what I had in the fridge. I had a two slices of stale banana bread which I toasted and crumbled. I also had plain yogurt and frozen berries that I picked this summer (strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and blueberries). The raspberries defrosted a little and produced some juice, which I poured on top. I also used two kiwis.
This is so easy to make. You take wine glasses (or jars, or any other see-through containers) and layer all your ingredients carefully inside each one. One of your layers is crumbs or chunks of cake, or even pieces of leftover bread (or in my case, banana bread), which you can moisten with liqueur or juice if they feel dry. Another layer is cream or custard or yogurt. I used plain yogurt with vanilla extract and brown sugar. A third layer is fruit, either frozen or fresh or a combination. You could also use jam, nuts, chocolate. I added a splash of cherry liqueur to the crumbled banana bread and I grated some bittersweet chocolate on top.
