Half Snow Day....Jason made pita and I made falafel (from a recipe from the NYT), served with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, tahini sauce, avocado (not canon but nice), pickled radishes and some sambal oelek. I also roasted some skinny little asparagus spears with olive oil and salt, and tossed them with lemon and parm. Messy and tasty.

On a side note, I finally tried one of those "chocolate cake in a mug recipes", this one from Food52. Their recipe called for sumac, which I omitted (I put in some instant coffee and cinnamon instead), and I swapped in regular chocolate chips instead of white chocolate for Carter. I also mixed it in a bowl instead of the mug. The verdict: very sweet but good. I can see making these again if we ever need a fast dessert item. Will cut back the sugar and the oil next time, though.
