Do the Humpty Hump*

My answer to Harmonia's question from last week:

Caesar Salad! (dressing recipe from the "It's Only Natural" Cookbook; some lettuce leaves grilled [Jen's idea] until it smelled like I was going to set off the fire alarm [not used to grilling] so I stopped [tasted good and warm], tempeh cooked up with some spices (mustard seed, cumin, cayenne, chili, rosemary, garam masala, salt...)

My contribution to this week's Midweek Munchies:

Stuff in the fridge:
romaine lettuce (half a head or less)
brocolli (2/3 of a bunch)
parsley
cilantro
lemons
spinach
olives
cucumber
oranges
leftover caesar dressing
leftover salsa verde (might not still be fresh)
leftover pesto (needs to be chucked - the first time in a while I let that happen)
1 whole wheat naan

Not in the fridge but calling out to me:
golden and flame raisins
all those beans
grains

I really didn't eat the leafy greens as much as I wanted to, nor the grains. I ate out more and chose different types of things. Also, I didn't really plan out our shopping trips the way I sometimes like to do. Thinking I'll go to the store later and buy:

Bok choy
kale
boston lettuce
tomatoes
more fruit (especially grapes and/or berries if not too expensive)
garlic
celtic sea salt
not sure what else

This week's entries from the World Vegetarian project were especially good:


Cypriot Lima Bean Stew (p. 56-57)

Mock Lamb Curry (p. 505)

Sweet-and-Sour Toovar Dal (p. 87)

I'd really like to make one of those persian pilafs soon!
