I made vegan green chili stew from the Bean By Bean cookbook. Though it is encouraged to eat it with shredded cheese on top, you don’t have to.

I found this dried pasta at a gourmet shop a coupla towns up from us

I remembered watching a Pasta Grannies video on You Tube about this pasta and thought we'd give it a try... it was a bit spendy ...

The pasta took about 30 minutes to cook, just enough time to bake off the meatballs and heat the bread.
DELICIOUS!!!

In the 20's here. We had beef and barley soup with buttered homemade French bread baguettes, along with mixed berry pie for dessert

Tuesday night I made a type of vada, using the leftover chickpea barley porridge, adding some sooji, or coarse semolina to stiffen it even more, then, instead of deep frying it (the usual way those are cooked), I brushed a small amount of oil on the surface of them, then cooked them in a NS skillet. Turned out great! I also cooked some bok choy, that I harvested from my hydro - started with a generous 3 c, and it cooked down to a generous cup.

Tonight, a friend came over, and I made some guacamole, with some avocados I had to use today, plus a Mexican omelette, with some ham, roasted green chiles, from the freezer, and some queso fresco. Plus I gave him the two leftover vadas from last night, to reheat.

I made Shrimp Destin tonight. I usually use Barilla pasta, but Pastene was on sale. Orzo is orzo, right? Wrong!! While Pastene orzo is fine for soup, it messed up the shrimp dish. The pasta absorbed the broth unevenly, seemed overcooked and mushy, stuck to the pan...and my teeth. It still tasted fine; the only part getting pitched is what stuck to and burned onto the bottom of my Staub.
