Starting off with tomato-eggplant salad with toasted pine nuts and basil on top.

Next up, an Asian seafood noodle dish with flounder and shrimp. Mango seafood rolls that the RG made from scratch.

Roasted carrots in different colors decorate the plate.



p.s. I have pics of the salad but tinypic doesn't want to post them. I keep getting a "message removed" icon.

1. Rather cool here

so it's pot roast tonight, with mashed potatoes and gravy. I found a recipe for a salad with bok choy from Cooking Light, so we'll have that - I think the contrast will be good.

2. Chana dal with a variety of veggies.

Onions, peppers, peas, asparagus. Chicken quarters rubbed with a Persian spice blend then roasted. Tomorrow we’re making Irish stew with some leftover lamb from our Persian market. We’re going to our daughter’s house to watch UK play Auburn and the stew will simmer all afternoon 😋

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 large eggs, beaten***
1 cup Panko*
FOR THE HONEY GARLIC SAUCE
1/3 cup honey, or more, to taste
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Sriracha, optional
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons sesame seeds



DIRECTIONS:

Add chicken to prepared baking dish. Place into oven and bake until golden brown and crisp, about 15-20 minutes.
In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, combine honey, garlic, soy sauce and Sriracha, if using. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and 1/3 cup water. Stir mixture into the saucepan until thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in chicken and gently toss to combine.
Serve immediately

*panko are Japanese style bread crumbs


***I'm out of eggs, so I'll use a buttermilk wash instead to bind the panko.

6. That's what I want...

But I'm making pad thai because I already have the stuff.

Your asparagus sounds good. I love it roasted but I like to try new ways to serve it.

I use this recipe and add the shaved/chunks of cheese...

this video does not identify the fresh parm cheese shavings and chunks...This is an essential finishing element to balance this salad off the charts...
