Yesterday at work, I said to someone, "I'm so happy, I get to cook tomorrow!" And she said, "You LIKE to cook?!!" Well yes, of course I do. And one dangerous thing that happens every two weeks is that I have pay-day weekend off. So, on that preceding Wednesday, I have been known to scout the grocery ads, peruse a cookbook or two, and dream big dreams. This weekend, I also have a new cookbook to celebrate (the one from which the quote in the previous post was taken). So here is this week's menu:
Moroccan Carrot Salad
Tzatziki sauce
Red cabbage and Brats (church pot luck, won't be any of that to take home!)
Tabbouleh
Ful Medames
Fatoush
For the culinarily sheltered, they are, in the same order:
a simple carrot salad with no exotic ingredients at all
Cucumber-dill-yogurt sauce (excellent for a vegetable dip)
Self-explanatory, I think
Cracked wheat salad with lots of tomatoes and flat-leaf parsley
Egyptian refried beans without the fat and the tang of lemon
Tomato onion and cucumber salad served with toasted pita wedges
Yummmmm!!

Tabbouleh -- yum!!!! My mother-in-law taught me to love this
And yes, I know that sentences end in periods. Have no idea where that one disappeared to . . . :)
Remind me again what it is you do, Beth. (evil snicker) You've been hanging around me too much, you're starting to type like I do!

*Now* I know who to blame! :-)
