Hahaha, I had the feeling someone was going to make such claim. As much as I love weed, I like to smoke it more than eating it. The herbs you see were also grew in my garden but it is just thyme and oregano

I could not resist...looked like a Bay leaf to me.

Lol, I am sure you couldn't. Yes that was a bay leaf, another one of the herbs I use in my tomato sauce.

How was the bolognese sauce, Tommy?

I have been slow cooking my tomato sauce for a few hours already.

Beautiful, Sass, love the slow cooker. Yours is looking real good as well!

Thanks for sharing this recipe, I'm not very familiar with Middle Eastern style food but I going have to give it a try as these Ottoman Empire meatballs sound fantastic.

It's great. A top Blue owns a brilliant restaurant here in Liverpool called Maray, which has a twist on Israeli and Middle Eastern food.

Last night dinner was absolutely delicious. @verreauxi meatball recipe is definitely a winner (I just made a couple of changes). You should give it a try and make meatballs for the first time in the near future, it was well worth it.

When I visit Liverpool, hopefully next year, I will keep this restaurant in mind. Until then I am going to explore more into Middle Eastern food and cook some recipes at home.

That place looks great. The restaurant turnover on Bold Street is pretty high from what I recall, but this one looks like a winner.

They opened in 2014 I think and has thrived since then. Jay’s a great fella and top blue too.

I haven't had great experiences with men named Jay, maybe this will be the fist one and tasty one too lol

Don't try this at home. Ask me why my head hurts when I read this. (brainfreeze tonight?, hangover in the morning?)

Wasted days and wasted nights in a previous century. Heck, a previous millennium...

This was so good I posted it here. Watch Kenji and learn - he has a great rhythm about what he does. Worth it just to see the gorgeous tomato.
Lesson - less complex is more better, so cook it right. Also, Jacques Pepin = mensch. Twelve minutes that aren't a waste.

My wife is....voluntarily.... going vegan. And she asked me to "join" her for this whole week. Which I shall.


But I'm not happy about this at all.


I offered to make some Indian from scratch but she has recipes she wants to make. They don't sound terrible but still, I've no idea what goes through her head...

I couldn't be a vegans forever but there are so many good Indian and Middle Eastern dishes. Shouldn't be too bad.

Yeah but she shot those down to make things like "black bean vegan chowder".

Theres a reason why being vegan is fine in India, they've been doing it forever. Black bean vegan chowder sounds like someone forgot like 3 things at the store and just went ahead and made it with whatever they had regradless.

*edit* it's a week, I can survive lol

Sounds like a yummy recipe and unlike @riddick I'm not going vegan anytime soon so I'll definitely check out the video. Thanks for sharing it.
