Tonight was gonna be for eggplant and quinoa involtini.
However, my eggplant's short and stout - not good for wrapping around a filling. I'm missing three ingredients that I can't easily substitute with what I've got. And it was pretty late to start an hour-long recipe at 7:15, anyway.
I'm going shopping tomorrow, and THEN we'll see what's what.
In the meantime, here's a photo of my snack from this evening. Kelewele (say: kelly-welly) is chopped plantains covered in ginger and spices, then fried. Served in secondhand paper. Here's one cedi's worth from what's supposedly the best place in the neighborhood, which seems like a ripoff for so little. You could get four times this volume of a lot of other street foods for a cedi.
Tonight, I'm having a Taiwanese veggie burger with pesto cheese and grilled peppers & mushrooms. O Cheese Gods, forgive me for succumbing to the gimmick of vivid green gouda! Luckily, it's tasty.
These patties are really convincingly chicken-textured. For all I know, they may even be chicken. Don't tell the vegans.
just me and my grill pan
Along with that, I've been watching South Pacific. The colored camera filters, the horrid French accents, the continuity errors, the racism, the classic songs! How... quaint.
