Leftovers for lunch: shrimp patia, cumin rice, and cucumber riata.

Truffled hot sauce and fish sauce gave the patia some pop, and a squeeze of lemon brightened up the raita. Live and learn.

 

I am having trouble aligning you with truffled hot sauce. Explanation please

How so? 🤷🏼‍♂️

 

Mrs. C picked up Truff at Costco. I like thick and flavorful hot sauces, as opposed to the usual thin and vinegary ones. The earthy scent is a bonus.

Interesting - had to google.  The things that I miss not being into TikTok!

Kielbasa with yellow squash and zucchini, flavored with white onion, garlic, chipotle in adobo, jalapeno, and cooked down tomatillo salsa, and then finished with Mexican oregano and feta cheese.

 

Polish tacos, maybe?

Comida típica Canaria. I wish.

The only thing that's "Canaria" here is the spicy sauce I brought back from Lanzarote. But the meal is Lanzarote-inspired. The potatoes, red and green sauces are essential prerequisites.

 

Purslane and mixed Turkish pickles

 

One of my favourite fish, haddock. Cooked in the oven. Sizzling crispy garlic on top of the fish when ready to eat.

 

Green sauce is eaten with seafood on Lanzarote. (Coriander, parsley, pumpkin seeds, olive oil, lime juice...)

 

Dry Riesling

 

Bought it here:

 

Ja, I vas zere, at Trossen's last June.

I tweaked the recipe for Hominy w/Black Beans, Summer Squash, Basil + Mojo de Ajo from Grist to make it better reflect the season (and the contents of my fridge), delicata squash for the summer squash and used oregano instead of basil as the fresh herb. 

The mojo de ajo is made with garlic, slow-roasted along with fresh oregano in olive oil, then mixed with lime and orange zest and juice.  Tasty stuff.

Russian neighbors dropped off borscht, always a special treat. Dollop of yogurt.
