The cover of my current issue of Midwest Living tells me "It's not summer until you BLT"...so we did! Sides were corn off the cob, cheddar-sour cream potato chips, and a forgotten in the fruit drawer avocado.
Today I made a sambar, with 2 kinds of dal, and a bunch of okra, to use up all I had in a ziploc bag. I also used 2 small eggplants I just harvested. I also used up some tomatoes - ones I had to cut bad spots out of. I didn't eat much of it - I'm sharing it with some friends tomorrow. I also made a cucumber onion pachadi - something sort of like a raita, but more added to it, which I've made other versions of before. I have a bunch of cukes to use up, so I tried it, and it was really good. I ate all of that, I liked it so much, so I'll make a bunch more, for them. Cutting the items up took longer than it took to cook it. A sambar, with 2 dals, plus okra and a couple of small eggplants. by pepperhead212, on Flickr
