Slow weekend lunch.

 I had an amazing lunch. Greek roasted vegetables, Airfryer lemon potatoes and Turkish Kisir, which is a tangy bulgur salad. I also picked some lemons and limes from the garden. After lunch I sat outside with a book and a cup of wellness tea.

Maydan Market

 Delicious lunch at Maydan Market today in West Adams. A beautiful space with different cuisines. We ordered from Maydan, mediterranean vendor.

 

Slow living.

 I will never get tired of making slow soup that simmers away for hours in the crockpot. This one has: @rancho_gordo yellow eye beans, farro, potatoes, carrots, cabbage, onions, kale, rosemary, thyme and mushroom based broth. 

Oaxacan anniversary dinner.

 The other night was our wedding anniversary and we went out to dinner at the local oaxacan restaurant. It was delicious. I had a yummy sangria and tried out the vegan Tlayuda. 

My outfit. I love the peacock jacket that my brother and sister in law got me for my birthday last year.

My husband’s chicken tamal.

Husband got chile relleno.

Veggie Tlayuda 

Taverna at the Mar Vista

 Delicious family style greek food at Taverna. The cocktails were delicious. I got a blood orange margarita got me a little buzzed. We ordered a bean dip, Skordalia garlic dip, the roasted potatoes, and the giant Greek beans. My husband got the chicken pita. Everything was so so good.

Soup & Sandwich

 Lunch. Turkish vermicelli soup with cabbage and zucchini, recipe by @melizcooks and tofu egg salad sandwich. Delicious! 

Oatcakes

 Yesterday I made Frankenstein Oatcakes, a veganized recipe from @rhubarbandlavender Inspired by the food in the novel. These were delicious, soft, chewy and slightly sweet. I topped them with vegan cheese and fig jam. Perfect with a cup of tea.
