3rd of life crisis is a thing right?

Visited North Africa today! Chermoula Tempeh! It was very good, you can make the chermoula marinade/sauce ahead of time if ya need to, I made mine with hab and smoked bhut powder, had it over brown rice with a side of sauteed spinach. Good stuff!  

I had a craving for eggs Benedict, but as I've mentioned before I think the prices for going out to eat breakfast are ridiculous.  So dude ran to the store to get English muffins while I tried to make Hollandaise sauce for the first time ever.  It was pretty successful and adding smoked bhut...

Vegan Jamaican!    Jerk Tofu, pressed for hours and marinated in a homemade jerk sauce for 2 hours. Okra was cooked with fresh habanero (no scotch bonnets around), tomatoes, onion, a touch of curry, and some S&P.  Cauliflower was tossed in OO smoked paprika, and vegeta seasoning, grilled with...

The texture is always the hardest to nail down.  Frozen then thawed and crumbled tofu may help out.  Or some crunched up walnuts!  Just make sure you don't break them down too fine.  I did meatballs a long time ago with minced up mushrooms too.  

I've been making homemade spicy salad dressing lately. Highly recommend it, we' now prefer to eat salad type meals vs sandwich types because of the spicy dressings.

This was just a quick dinner to use up some stuff that was almost empty and some leftover salad, I was going for a shawarma-like wrap with tabouli. Buffalo Morningstar Chik'n patties cooked with some Arabic curry powder a friend gave me from her trip to Dubai.  Na'an bread, the salad, hummus...

No plants this year for me after the spider mite situation.  I've got some spicy meals planned throughout the week.  Going all over the world with the cuisines, Middle East, Mexico, North Africa, and Jamaica.  I will try to take pics and post up if they turn out.     Not hot pepper related but...

Trader Joe's sells these fancy "root vegetable chips", but aren't all potato chips really root vegetable chips?

Back to some basics Soyrizo, onion, and egg tacos.  There's avocado hidden in there too, topped with valentina's, some romaine and cilantro.  

Here's my two again. Sorry about the "watermark", I do that for instagram posts.      After the walk and the 1.5 hr drive home Yuki couldn't walk.  She's getting older (9 yr old), so hoping its just soreness and a touch of arthritis.  That was Sunday evening, she's much better now, but still...

Zucchini pancakes with Boca-Mince Arrabbiata and Arugula.          Tasted kinda like pizza rolls.   

Ahhhh ef. He got me. I actually despise ground meat. But the tofu part sounded so good. Also... day drinking so whoops for not reading close enough.

It was just a spice mix? Was there carne in the spice mix?

Woo a vegetarian entry.  As delicious as they all look, nowadays that's the one I'd order. 

Thanks Gonzo! I still am not 100% vegetarian.  I like to travel and try new things, and when I'm on vacation and there's regional/local foods, all bets are off.  The unwritten rule of the house here for the last ~3 years is that we don't really cook meat here, unless parents are coming for...
