Toolset Lunch
So today’s lunch was inspired by OTGS’ Toolset: a simple Pasta e Fagioli
That’s the Italian cuisine for you: simple ingredients that make for a great dish. And we love having all the tools and ingredients at our fingertips, don’t we!
I picked 70gr of my favorite pasta from the cupboard,  put that in salted boiling water for 8 minutes. Drained the water and added a couple of tablespoons of Ragù we made on Monday. Then a couple of tablespoons of baked beans (also prepared in batch last week). Stir for 5 minutes to get the right temperature, and voilà !
Honestly, how hard can it be to make a good meal and enjoy it. All in under 20 minutes. And I had the time to clean the dishes and write this blog too!

I bought The Soup and Bread Cookbook from Amazon earlier today and there were just too many recipes that made me want to start baking right away. So I tried this Monkey Bread recipe ( snapshot from the book ):
Here are some pics I took:

Diet Day Three (When It Crashed and Burned)
- March 30, 2013
- Food
Breakfast: mortadella and rockets wrap. So far so good.
But then it hit me: We’re going up to Bekaa to visit Pia’s aunt. Plenty of food today! Here’s a sample (low quality pics from my phone!):
Tabbouleh:
An assortment of sauteed wild greens and fresh “Aisha Khanum” beans the traditional vegetarian way:
Wild thym:
Wild dandelion with caramelized onions on top:
The beans again:
Pickled green olives:
Pumpkin Kibbeh with Spinach, Chickpeas and Walnuts:
I really did not eat that much, but I knew that the diet was over. The next day we were invited to a friend’s house (a sushi chef) and he made the most beautiful sushi/maki plates. His wife and other friends made Pancit, roasted chicken legs with rosemary, organic green salad, and about 10 other things. And then a couple of days later we were invited for a barbecue dinner at my in-laws. And more invites are lined up for the coming days and weeks. So I’m giving up…
Or maybe I’ll restart again in a couple of days. Meanwhile, I finished baking a wonderful whole-wheat sandwich loaf with honey and olive oil. The smell is great and I’m pretty sure it tastes great as well.
