Glazed Meatloaf

This is a dish you make when you want something satisfying and hearty and simple and delicious. This is for a night at home, when all you want to do is dinner and a Netflix movie.



And so, when FIL came for a visit and requested comfort food, this was the comfortiest of comfort foods that popped into my mind.

Indian Curried Green Tomatoes Bhaaji

This is it. This is the one, the only, the whole and sole green tomato recipe you need. Throw away all those fried green tomato recipes. Only ever curry green tomatoes from now on!

KIDDING totally kidding - fried green tomatoes are amazing and if one has 2 green tomatoes one must always fry at least one of them. I'm just saying, curry the other, and you will make yourself doubly happy and you'll get flavors that you would never have thought of with regular ol' frying. In fact, I fried some up too, and I'm going to post that recipe next week!

But no, seriously, don't go frying up all your green tomatoes. If you're looking for a perfect sweet and tart and savory and succulent vegetarian dish, this, friends, is it.

Vangyache Bharit

You know those days when you're thinking 'oh hey, maybe time to do the groceries again' and just as you set out for the grocery store something clicks in the back of your mind, you open the fridge one last time, pull open the veggie drawer - and there! A nice big ol' veggie staring right at you, giving you a puppy dog look at your neglectful treatment. Thankfully the veggie in question was a hearty ol' eggplant (not like those asparaguses - asparagii? - the wusses, they spoil in just a few days), and was hale enough to be cooked up into something delish.
