He said "shawarma" style and implied that it was Middle Eastern. When I looked it up to check the spelling, it appears shawarma is an Indian cooking technique.

When he sketched out his idea to me, he stressed that it wasn't going to be Middle Eastern, though, since he wasn't in the mood for that.

So it looks like a "fusion" type thing, you think? Mixing a style of cooking from one cuisine but ingredients from another.

Isn't it fun to harvest the lettuce you have sown yourself!? I am about to go up to my garden and put in a last round of lettuce and other short season cold weather crops. These would be

spinach
kohlrabi
kale
Chinese cabbage
turnips

All of which mature in 50-80 days.
