I made that second dish to take to my friend's house tomorrow - like that dal a while ago, with butternut squash, except this one with moth dal, because they are her favorite legumes, and I added some chicken, about 2 c of cooked chicken (no vegetarian friends visiting them, otherwise I would have left this out). I had a small bowl, to make sure there was no heat, and there is no heat - I used sweet paprika, in place of the Kashmiri chili powder, which is usually mild enough for most people, but not her! And the baby can even try it now.

Leftover minestrone and NYT bread. See photos in an earlier dinner thread.

Redid the meatloaf again (the right way this time with an egg and milk) and got the scalloped potatoes I like. Much, much better meal than last time. With a big piece of chocolate cheesecake for dessert.
We ordered Greek food. It was very good.

Ham and cheese on a toasted English muffin with a crunchy dill pickle and a glass of skim milk.
Surprised I didn't take a picture - but starting to use up the Butter Chicken Sauce. Fried up a cubed Chicken breast, scooped up some sticky rice all served with that sauce.
Very tasty.
think I'll have to freeze the balance of the sauce as I can't keep in fridge much longer - would be upset if the rest of it turned.

Dinner at the hotel because we wanted to optimize the time we had in our suite. It's fine food, good homestyle cooking. Not fine dining.
Fresh , warm baked bread with aioli, tapenade and salted butter
Pork tenderloin with brie, roast vegetables and pepper sauce
My husbands sole with green herb sauce
My husbands dame blanche
Strawberry pavlova
It was all good and we had a great time!

@Xocolatl That looks really yummy. Would you please explain the dame blanche. I looked it up and it doesn't seem to be the same thing.
hmmm, I think it looks like it. Vanilla Ice Cream and they have done them as quenelles, with a biscuit and sauce. Red currents as a garnish, very nice.
but I would call that pretty darn close to fine dining. Quenelles, the brie - perfect brulee, pavlova, sole where you can add your own amount of sauce (instead of looking for them drowned).
Yeah, the bread is homey but, without asking, you got salted butter! that to me (if I remember correctly for Europe) is fine dining.

It's just vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce and whipped cream in It's most basic form.
In this case they added a white chocolate dome ( under it is the ice cream) and they made whipped cream quenelles

I guess my standards are high, lol
it was delicious so whichever it was it was certainly worthwhile
Ah, so is the chocolate sauce under the dome or is it white chocolate sauce?

The chocolate sauce is in the jar in the picture, did you think that was coffee?
D'oh!
Believe it or not, I thought it was red current sauce. I saw those beautiful red currants and that was just where my mind went. Also, the tiny, thin layer of sauce at the top edge, looks pinkish/reddish to me.

One more question about the dame blanche. Are those leaves lemon balm?

I have no idea, it didn't taste familiar to me. Google shows a different leaf shape than what was on the plate
