A Joint Effort
July 6, 2024
Check these out!
Our parting gift from the July 4 Middle Eastern Feast was a sack o’ pita bread dough. Our effort last year (when bequeathed with same) to turn that dough into yummy pita bread was not hugely successful. But this year… hoo boy! Can’t wait to eat it! Serving in a little while to Janet (whose birthday is tomorrow), along with Dror’s fantastic tahini. Also on the menu: a green salad and a watermelon salad and a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. I’m the salad chef tonight, Jim’s the baker.
~~
Joint effort because Dror made the dough and Jim baked it.

oooh boy is right!
maybe a tabouleh salad…..and some feta unless it’s already in your watermelon salad….and does baker Jim take commissions for chocolate cakes?

Elliot… Mr. Chocolate Cake himself,
Jim made the BEST cake. We were dubious bc it was vegan (no eggs/butter and instead vinegar and oil), but it was fantastic! We chose it bc it was simple (“easiest chocolate cake you’ll ever make”). Paired it with a dark chocolate frosting (that was very sweet). Just fantastic.
The pita came out undercooked, so we popped it back in (that never turns out well). It was a bit crispy but yummy.
Yes, the watermelon salad had feta. So so so good!
