This is how our kid eats pasta sometimes lol. He fought me for the marrow bone.
So we had a nice veal shank that I simply braided until tender I’m aromatics and the next day needed a quick lunch for him and the veal stew worked well as a sauce

When I get off my ass and make an effort, magical things happen.
I learned that Eggplant Parm exists from the movie Twins as a young immigrant . Decades later I’m getting pretty good at making it myself and without the nuking.

Summer Squash - pumpkin soup with lentils
ok so first of all we have all of these pepper trees apparently up north… they’re always gorgeous but i had no idea they actually grow red pepper… so take some of that and grind some for later
stop by the farm that’s been left to go to seed after visiting a winery and grab a couple because you’re bad boy for life
then you saute onion and garlic and ginger slowly, add chicken stock, add your squash and Kano has pumpkin, cook until totally smooth, puree with butter and cream or milk… add some separately cooked lentils and red pepper

It’s my dads favorite food and one of those things where the result is more than the sum of its parts

I’m out then. What’s it called btw? What’s the bread name? Did you make it? What’s the cheese? Okay, basically tell us everything.
Lavash and feta but you can’t customize. It’s the law of Armenians lol.

Hahaha. That’s a lot of rice tho plus when you slow cook it the flavor is just so muted
I’d imagine the cloves were spreadable?
