Had a weekend full of delicious, unhealthy food, so lightened things up today with a salad for lunch.

That looks great. MrsT started Weight Watchers today, so the mashed potatoes I made earlier are “skinny” potatoes, made with just a little butter, and some of the starchy cooking water in place of the half-and-half I usually use.

She didn’t notice much difference actually, which is saying something.

I usually use two pounds of potatoes and 1/2-lb of butter (two sticks, or 16 tablespoons).

This batch, 1-1/2 pounds of potatoes, and a mere two tablespoons of butter.

Rummaniyeh for lunch
86610


Rummaniyeh is a classic Palestinian dish, a lentil eggplant stew with pomegranate molasses, served with some toasted sourdough. And the red in the middle is Shatta, a fermented chilli condiment only this version is lethally hot. It was made with Scotch Bonnet Chilies rather than my usual jalapeno or similar and even ½ tsp in that bowl was exceptionally hot.

The yellow tomatoes were just added afterwards during the reheat.
