Lentils, as much as I love them, give me the worst gas in town.
But....It's you find it you eat it night!!!
So what's for dinner?

Chicago-style dogs. Except I need to find somebody that sells the peppers and poppyseed buns to make them "authentical". Otherwise, it's regular buns and no peppers.
I'm too exhausted from washing every dish in my house. Despite the fact that I now have pans to cook with, and plates to eat off of, I think I'm going to have booze for dinner.
Night all.
Night all.
Dinner, 'eh? Stuffed pork chops with corn, mashed potato, garlic noodles (they're in a Sidekicks package), and a few bread rolls. Now that's good food right there, if I do say so. Ah ha ha.

I did something different tonight, and managed to clean out the refrigerator and a couple things on the counter that needed using up.
I made a dinner of two salads- Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing and a Salade Nicoise with Rosemary Chicken instead of tuna.
Used up the rest of the bacon in the fridge, the leftover chicken from the other night, the last of the cherry tomatoes, the red onion that's been sitting on the counter for a couple days, and the last 4 eggs in the older container.
It was yummy too!

Leg humpingly good hummus. (srsly, best you'll ever taste)
With pita, olives, cheese, pickles, and maybe meatballs.

I will have to try the leg-humpiness very soon. I've tried a couple different recipes. I'LL decide!
Off topic: Looks like somebody's been to Superstore.
I have an amazing bean dip in one of my tapas cookbooks. My husband literally starts drooling when I say I'm going to make it. Tapas is a big deal at our place. I spend all day cooking, and we have amazing leftovers for days.
This one has white beans, garlic, lemon, and olive oil. It is SOOOO amazing. Especially with crusty bread. And various other tapas, of course.
The plain yellow labels remind me of plain brown wrappers on porn.I will have to try the leg-humpiness very soon. I've tried a couple different recipes. I'LL decide!

I need to add an update to that recipe about how long to run the food processor. Once you think it's done, and the texture you want, run it for at least another 30 seconds. It's a fine line, but just that little bit of too much texture makes a huge difference.
I love all small foods that can be eaten with fingers. I will be stopping by for dinner on tapas and bean dip night.

Mashed sweet potatoes with chipotle, sauteed zucchini, porkchop and a sauce made by deglazing the pan with home made ginger beer, and a bit of cream.

Lamb patties filled with feta cheese, home make tomato sauce and potatoes.
I'll never make it again. My oldest son said it best;

I'm guessing it's the fact that it was lamb. We usually don't eat lamb. The taste of the patties was... "off" and nothing I did could save it.
Today we're having "train wreck" = take what you have in the fridge, throw it in a pan and hope for the best. It's usually not bad as long as there are potatoes and onions in the base.
Hm. Yeah, lamb has a distinct flavour and if you're not used to it, it can seem "off". I've been eating it since I was a kid, and I love it.
Tonight, I'm not sure, but it needs to involve mushrooms.

What was your sorce for the lamb? Freshly butchered by you or yours, or a grocery store or something else? The most common problems are using wool sheep instead of meat sheep for the meat which tends to give it a soapy texture and flavor due to the lanolin. The other main problem is that the grocery store was selling the meat past its freshness. One time we traced a problem to a bad jar of Thyme. It was new, just tasted terrible and ruined the dish.
