I'm making a pizza tonight, with the fresh homegrown tomatoes the family I tutor for gave me. They're incredibly delicious. Anyone want to come over, hang out with me, and eat? I just moved into this new house less than a week ago, and the landlady's still moving out, so it's a little bit, ah, stirred up, but I'd like some company ( Read more... )

It was latkes with a bunch of veggie sides, but they all had different themes--Iranian this and Iraqi that and American-as-applesauce.

I just had such a nice meal that I think I'll try to share it in recipe format, though I don't usually use them. It's very simple but the flavors are quite rich; it's a trifecta of delicious veggies with hearty brown rice. Great comfort food.
