Last night was a slight variation on a regular theme in my evening meal. Usually it would be a red Diane yam rather than Frenched blue lake green beans. The beans were particularly nice, and it’s been a lot of yams of late.
It was delicious.

I was mostly thinking about the Mujaddara and the fried brussel sprouts dishes, just reckoning things that involved frying often aren’t that great if they aren’t piping hot.
Zhug is just a thick Yemeni cilantro hot sauce… though TBH the one local middle eastern place we have it isn’t spicy (it’s usually quite spicy).
I won’t lie I’m envious of your options… we have a lot of awesome local ingredients, but our takeout options are so incredibly slim it’s pretty sad. Downside of living someplace rural I guess, but then, it could be worse I guess.

This morning was huckin’ fuckleberry pancakes for me. With and without maple syrup. Delicious.
Mrs. mota had Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip. She loves the “cookie dough,” which is basically chickpeas and cashews, aka humus. Banana chips in the upper right corner, pretzels (gluten free, made from cassava flour) upper left, cookie dough in the lower left, and missing are the fresh strawberries. The Mrs. isn’t a real fresh strawberry fan, so those get frozen and put into green smoothies, which she has one of every day. Her green smoothie routine made a huge difference in her skin, and that is no shit!

@yardgrazer, the delivery service we use carries only one order at a time, so there is no waiting for another item to be delivered elsewhere first. While it’s true we’ve never had a piping hot meal delivered, they are always at least warm and more generally bordering on hot. We try to order from places relatively close to our house, which helps keep the food warmer.
Yeah, the zhug was far too spicy hot for my mouth.
Yeah, I think it’s really about tradeoffs. After living in small towns (and outside small towns) for years, there’s a lot to miss. One of those things, however, is not lots of options. Gotta have lots of people to have lots of options. I would be okay returning to a more rural setting, but I have definitely become acclimated to so many choices.

glad you liked them. you did well if you stopped at 1. lol. most people that like these cookies, cannot stop at 1 and if like me 3-4 easily consumed. then the richness puts me right into sugar shock / overload. i am gonna be 63 this year and started making these since i was 13 and introduced to them when i was hanging out with the kids from the rich side of town. i thought at that time that it was the best cookie ever and had them show me how to make what they called seven layer cookies. and here we are 50 years later still enjoying and sharing them.

This morning it is berry berry pancakes. Huckelberry with mixed berry syrup. Thankfully not beri beri pancakes! HA! I couldn’t get out of my own damn shadow in that first picture.

But it’s probably going to taste freaking awesome.

Last night was a typical for me - reverse seared rib eye, baked russet (no chives, again, but I did have a scallion!), and Brussels sprouts. It was delicious. The remainder of the steak, and there almost always is about half left over, will be either lunch or dinner in a couple of days.
