I'm making one of my all-time favorite vegetarian entrees: cauliflower pie. It's a Mollie Katzen recipe.
Also making mango chutney to go with.

(9,844 posts)This year, it was terrible. It was held at a Marriott (I think) and the salad was pale and limp and mostly iceberg lettuce. The pasta was overcooked and the sauce was no better than the jarred kind from the grocery. There was one large meatball (about the size of a baseball) on each plate. When I saw people sawing and hacking theirs, I was afraid to eat mine. A friend said that her dog really liked those meatballs! At least the free beer was good--Lagunitas IPA donated by a local supporter of spay/neuter. There was a silent auction and a good jazz band, so it was a fun night in spite of the bad food.
We're having leftovers tonight. Roasted potatoes, broccoli, squash from yesterday.

(146,218 posts)Never made them before and I'm a bit nervous. I love them and so does DH, so the pressure is on.
I have made the tomato broth and charred/skinned the chiles. Now it's just the batter and frying.
I just looked up the recipe for your cauliflower pie. Wow!! That sounds amazing. Enjoy!

Husband can't have anything but liquids, so will probably figure out something cold so I won't be wafting any tempting aromas through the house. I could eat the shawarma leftovers cold (tasted it cold...awesome!) but I thought I would save it for his lunch tomorrow.

(39,961 posts)grilled black and bleu so perfect I can practically weep that I was able to cook something so wonderful. It's thick, charred and rare on the inside, with a shade of garlic I stuffed in it, too, while letting it rest to room temperature.
I don't mean to be vain, but DAMN, I love my own cooking

(9,844 posts)his as well and never could accommodate my tastes. I always had to cook mine until done-ness in the m'wave, then I usually put ketchup on top (oh, the desecration...)
We could always come together on lots of other things, but beef, steak, rare meat was never a good combination for us unless we ate at a steak/chop house.

Unless it's sushi. Different rules apply for sushi
