Green Salad with Garbanzos and Olives

Salad and bread only counts as dinner after you've stuffed yourself with leftover chicken and pastry for lunch. 

Chicken and Pastry

Homemade chicken and pastry, made with (not to brag or anything) homemade chicken stock. This might be the most delicious un-photogenic food ever. I cobbled together the recipe from a couple of sources. 

Tofu Teriyaki

Tofu Teriyaki deluxe box from Sakura 6. I would like to eat this every day, please. 

Roast Chicken, The Fun Way

I roasted two chickens using this method, which I first read about here. I don't think I'll ever cook a whole chicken any other way. I did cheat and put a quarter of a lemon, clove of garlic and a spring of rosemary in each chicken. 

We ate most of one chicken then de-boned the other to use in chicken salad sandwiches and chicken and pastry. I also saved the skin 'n bones for homemade chicken stock.

I cooked up these as a side dish because they had been languishing in the fridge. 

Chickpea Smash Sandwich Part Two

The Chickpea Smash sandwich just might be too healthy to be satisfying. After dinner last night I nearly ordered a basket of waffle fries with no intention of sharing them at The Habitat. So for dinner tonight I remedied the problem by taking leftover chickpea smash, adding mayo, making a patty, and frying it in vegetable oil. Not exactly low-cal, but at least I wasn't ready to knock people down for french fries two hours later. 

Chickpea Smash Sandwich

I made a Chickpea Smash using this recipe, which was inspired by this restaurant. 

Pigeon Peas and Rice

Pigeon Peas and Jasmine Rice. I sort of followed the recipe on the bag of dried peas, which means cooking them with bacon, onions, and red pepper. Cooking them from scratch takes for-ev-er. This is the second time we've made this and each time we can't wait any longer and eat them when the peas are still a little crispy. We must plan ahead next time.
