I made some meat sauce and served it over mini wagon wheels topped with parmigiano reggiano & pecorino romano cheeses. I had half for lunch, and the other half fried for dinner.

Oh my goodness, does that ever look delicious! I'm going to have to make something along those lines.

Tonight I made an Indian dish, a Maharastrian version (using the Malvani masala powder I made a new batch of recently), using a cut up eggplant, 4 long beans, and about 2 c of cut up okra, to use up some of the veggies I had in the fridge. I started out by first cooking some oat groats in the Instant Pot - while not traditional, those I use here in place of rice, for more nutrition, combined with the masoor dal. While that was cooking, I started the rest.

In a sauté pan, I started a large chopped onion in a few tb of coconut oil, adding about 1½ c of chopped up Numex chiles after about 5-6 minutes. After a few minutes I added about 1 tb each of minced garlic and ginger, plus 3 tb of the Malvani masala powder, cooking about a minute, then added about 2 cups of blended tomatoes, 10 curry leaves (more in the tarka), and scraped the pan, and rinsed the VM out with about a cup of water, and added to the pan. I let that simmer well, while I cut up the other veggies, and got those cooking in the IP (setting the oats aside), and after sautéeing the veggies, added about ¼ c dried, grated coconut in the last 2 minutes. Then I added the thickened tomato sauce, and 2½ c water, plus about 3/4 c masoor dal. I salted to taste, and set it to manual for 8 minutes, and let the pressure release in 15 minutes, and the dal was finished. Then I stirred in 3/4 tsp of garam masala, the pre-cooked oak groats, and set it to simmer briefly, while setting the tarka ready - mustard seed, cumin seed, 6 or 7 Thai peppers, asafoetida, and some curry leaves. I stirred that in, and about 1/4 c chopped cilantro.

I was on my own again for supper. I nuked a bowl of frozen corn kernels. I toasted some really nice whole grain and sunflower seed bread (store bought) and slathered the slices with butter. I fried some salumi that needed to be used soon and also had a few chunks of old cheddar.
