“International Pizza”: an experiment in leftovers

This is a piece of cheesy garlic bread from one of our favorite local pizzerias.

It is topped with a dollop of salsa from one of our favorite Tex-Mex places, and a teaspoon of tabouli from one of our favorite Mediterranean places.
(Mom added some babaganoush to hers.)

It’s damn good! Definitely an experiment worth repeating.

Did taco soup again, with some more tweaks. Added red onion to the mix, for one. I also used tiny cubes of 3 cheeses: comte, parrano, and cotswold.

Looks pretty good would try. I also had soup and I very rarely order it almost never make it.

Chicken noodle wonton soup. Huge bowl.

Game night went to a student type place. Just got sick if kebabs and more or less had to drag the wife who always want to default to kebabs.

Chinese place with some Cambodian items.

Never had this before been meaning to get around to it last 20 odd years. Cold rainy autumn night just had a craving.

Wife ordered a satay beef. Same price as a medium McDonalds combo. I sampled it as she had to zip out and got back around a minute after it was served.

We used to eat Cambodian a lot but just haven't in recent years. Very basic sauce, rice, meat. Was delicious and nice simple street/student type food.

Grits is the white vaguely mashed potato part?

I've heard of grits not familiar with them.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Yep!

Basically, grits are a porridge made from boiled cornmeal. Pretty much, you pour grits into boiling water, stir, reduce heat, stir, season and serve. In our family, it’s almost a given that criminal amounts of butter will be used, and cheese is the most common additive after that. Sometimes, there‘s as much cheese as butter...or more.

Sounds like breakfast but I use yoghurt and fruit.

Well he outdid himself tonight. Gave me some fries for free and found the perfect mixture of toppings and sauce.

Turkish meatball sub.

Added cheese and not sure what sauces he used but best one yet
Meatballs buried under the toppings.

So Danny what would you like to order off the menu tonight?

1 NZD =0.75, usd approx.

Wife got the chicken roll-up and it was beautiful. Converted her from her usual order.

I’m thinking the Lamb tantuni on rice sounds like a good gateway meal! But those “combo” roll ups and sandwiches would definitely get me asking questions before I ordered. Is it a mix of 2+ meats, or is it a little of all of them?

Combo means it comes with chip/fries and a can of drink. So you ask for lamb combo or whatever.

You can ask for multiple meats or whatever. I like chicken falafel, chicken lamb not so much.
