What's for Dinner, Tues., May 12, 2026

Hot honey goat cheese on crackers.

Rotini chickpea pasta with tomato sauce and Beyond meatballs. Grated parmesan.

Diced Granny Smith apple and fennel frond salad (from my single fennel growing in the garden!). Mixed greens--oak leaf lettuce & spinach. Homemade vinaigrette.

Dessert: Chocolate cookie and a chocolate chip/coffee Talenti.

Later tonight, some popcorn. I hope I bought the right kind. Have to check with Emile.

I did the stove top version
My phone is NOT cooperating so no C&P today, so no breakdown.


Cabbage from the steppes of Poland to the subcontinent of India & beyond.

Air-fried frozen salmon burgers on whole grain Kaiser rolls with sliced red onion and teriyaki sauce. Also made oven roasted asparagus and a tomato cucumber salad as sides. Cheers!🥂

They turned out rather better this time. I toasted the chickpeas first, and used crumbs instead of flour. This yielded a big improvement in texture.

served with the last of the homemade pitas, some rice, and shawarma, and some of the hummus my husband made.

TJ’s Korean sushi. Not bad, except that it said to microwave for a couple minutes (I refuse to use one) so I left it on the counter to thaw—but not long enough. I’m pretty sure I’m going to have to supplement later with some big ol’ WW udon with spicy Szechuan sauce to fill in the gaps later.
