What's for Dinner, Fri., Jan. 5, 2024 [View all]

I wanted to make a wrap for tonight's dinner, but my main cookbook for this, Wrap It Up by Amy Cotler doesn't have very good recipes for what I want to use, which is pork chops marinated in cilantro-lime.

So I used The Flavor Bible by Karen Page for ideas. She actually gave me some inspiration: to use the cabbage mixture from my recent lo mein venture in the wrap. It won't have noodles in it, but maybe it should? Undecided.

Wow, it's so much fun to use cookbooks to do stuff like this.

I think I may also add whole toasted almonds to it. Undecided on that, too.

Of course I thought about a consultation with the RG who is a genius at this stuff but he'd get off on a long creative mind venture which would involve me going to the store for ingredients for his farflung ideas, so I "X'd" off that option.

So my dinner will be wraps with pork cubes marinated in cilantro lime. The wraps are Tummaro's 9-grain super seeds.

Dessert: Dark Chinese tea and a chocolate from the ones my neighbor brought by.
