What's for Dinner, Sun., May 22, 2021

Middle Eastern Chopped Tomato Cucumber Salad on Whipped Tahini.

It's been quite a while since I had whipped tahini and I've never made my own, but it's been hot here the last few days so I thought this would be a good option for dinner. I always used to get whipped tahini at the salad bar of a specialty food store here.



The salad part also has chopped parsley and mint and I added cilantro. A big beautiful fresh onion from the garden, plus some red bell pepper.

I added large green olives stuffed with jalapenos for spiciness.

Naan bread and garlic chive pita crackers to go with the salad.

Cherry kombucha to drink.

Dessert: chocolate chip mochis.

I love middle-eastern food, and have a Palestinian friend who came here from Israel. She and two of her kids cook the best stuff. Those pics look just like her food.

Corn on the cob.

These meatloaves were made in a 12-hole muffin pan. I saw it on the back of a Velveeta coupon. I added a couple tablespoons of minced garlic, some black pepper and oregano to the recipe. They're really tasty, and I'm kinda amazed it's from a Velveeta coupon.
