I made frikadeller (Danish comfort food), pickled beets, Thai pickled cucumbers, and served fingerling potatoes with gravy. Thai cucumbers are not standard fare for this Danish meal, but a regular cucumber salad is a common side dish. Since DH likes this one better, it's what I made. I ate too much.

A few days ago, an interesting article about millets made me think of something I've done often with millet - cooked it with jasmine rice, to give some nutrition to it. Amazingly, the flavor of the millet is incredibly mild, so the jasmine flavor is still strong. And I often do this with Thai curries - something I don't make as often as I used to. But I still had about 3/4 of red curry paste in the freezer.

For cooking the millet and jasmine rice together, I soak the millet for a few hours, drain, then add about 1½ c water per cup, and 1:1 water to rice, and use the RICE mode in the Instant Pot, and it comes out perfectly.
