a bagel...that's it, a bagel...a simple, formerly "ethnic" food that can be deeply satisfying.

BBQ, namely a big sliced brisket sandwich with lots of sauce and pickles, for dessert was a slice of red velvet cake.

Today I wanted to create in the kitchen. I started with some olive oil, freshly ground turkey, diced onions, fresh thyme leaves out of my herb garden, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper. I left it simmer and added diced tomatoes, some snapped string beans, a cup of red wine, and a dash or two of worcestershire sauce. Cooked it for a few more minutes then scooped it out into a sprayed glass baking dish. I added chicken stock to the broth in the pan and sprinkled flour to make a gravy. Once that thickened I poured it over the meat and veggies in the dish and peeled potatoes, boiled, drained, and mashed them and put on the top. I put it into the oven at 400 degrees and baked 20 minutes then raised the oven to broil and browned the top.
Oh Em Gee. It was fabulous!! It has been ages since I made shepherd's pie and I have never made it with wine before. Daayyuumm!! Amazing!

Dhal and naan bread. A coworker made it and it's really good. She even brought in some chopped tomatoes and cilantro for us.
