Made a tray of Chinese dumplings. I'm getting better at folding them. I can fold one in about 30 seconds. They might not be the prettiest but they taste the same.

I like to put them in a bowl and spoon some of the dipping sauce over them. Makes them easier to eat in bed, at the computer, etc...

5 pieces for 60 cent… crazy. I’ll take it. After trying 4 different naans from regular supermarket chains I give up. This has less taste on its own but I could fix that, if I wanted to, which I don’t. I’m making tandoori tikka again, with raita. I go to a Syrian restaurant a couple of times a year, standard part of the menu are a bunch of dips served with small pieces of arabic flatbread, includes some yoghurt raita like stuff too so this should work.

Dinner is ready! (not really, devoured it already :) )

Marinated for only 5 hours this time but still turned out pretty good.

The reddish spots are from me dumping some hot paprika and chilli powder on some pieces just before putting them on the grill. Wanted to check how much is too much. Couldn’t tell, was all good, but I’m thinking maybe don’t add the paprika to the marinade and add it last. That way it might get more of that traditional red look but without the use of food coloring.

It’s June 11. This is my first trip to the farmers market this year.
The fava beans were waterlogged. Had to pass.
Tomatoes were colorful, but still early.

I opted for some morels, Swiss chard, baby zucchini, spring asparagus and pea shoots.
I might have to just give in and make some fresh pasta.

Had to look up the name, it’s called mezze/mezza. Goes well before/with grilled meat so could be a fun way to spice up a bbq party.

Why? I’d expect goodness with those ingredients.
It was the bread I was worried about, two quite thin layers that get crispy hard fast when baked twice while I wanted to the toppings to get enough oven time.
