How we eat

Here are a few photos explaining how we eat our meals.

First of all, we cook (well, Lee cooks). Besides the pictured night's meal of burgers, carrots, and pan fries, we've made spaghetti with primavera sauce, mediterranean-style bread and egg strata, lentil stew, and chicken soup.

We also get take-out, from a Turkish restaurant called Merve. Lee enjoys the chance to speak Turkish.

And once a week or so we use a delivery service called Sevara's Kitchen:

Tonight's order was a spinach and cheese calzone. We've had fajitas, bulgogi, beef stroganoff, and tom kha gai. The cost is about half of eating out and just a little more than cooking ourselves--and it supports a local entrepreneur and her son.

We're thankful for all these options!

Bonus: today I baked apricot nut bread.

I'll be serving it to some teachers coming over tomorrow.
(And have made notes on my recipe to cut the apricots smaller so they don't sink to the bottom next time.)
