 Spent most of the day on a plane (uneventful in a good way), staggered off in the rain and made our way to the apartment. Dinner was nearby Indian fusion place called Kinara. We started with samosas and pani Purina, and then split a spicy chicken kebab, and something called "fire fries", which were like thrilling Indian poutine? Masala sauce, paneer, french fries and crushed taki topping. Everything was really good, but that's the dish I will be dreaming about. Then home for TV and early bed.

 Watched a cold wet, and losing Ultimate game in the morning:

And then just had leftover pizza and broccoli  for dinner.

 Ultimate tournament most of the day, early birthday dinner with Carter. All he wanted was pizza from Athena's and chocolate cookies. Easy enough. I thought my cookies (World Peace cookies from Dorie Greenspan) were too crunchy, and all my cookies have been spreading too much lately. Anyway, nice to see the boy.

 I forgot to use our avocados when I made enchiladas the other night, so somehow that translated into nachos for dinner. Refried beans, cherry tomatoes, fresh jalapenos, flan for dessert. Felt very decadent.

 Home pizza night; took advantage of the rotisserie chicken to make BBQ chicken pizza. Two minor complaints: this pizza doesn't lend itself as well to Jason's recent quasi pan pizza style, and the smoked cheddar we used was not, in my opinion, smoky enough. I think it will reheat well, though.

 Rice cakes with greens and peanut sauce, which I had completely forgotten ever making before, but guess what! Once again, I was the biggest fan, but Jason gamely ate them. I used (I think?) Chinese broccoli and could have used even more. I also think the flat rice cakes may work better than the cylinders that I used in this case.

 Cauliflower piccata from the NYT, which hadn't realized I have made before. Apparently I only gave it 4 stars, but I must have upped my game (or more likely, the butter) because it was delicious. Tossed with pasta and topped with a little Parm blend.
