i thought with the right angle, maybe we could capture the rays of sunset shining in between the lightposts. yeah.. that was a fail 😆
A second attempt at recreating the Orange-Shawarma Chicken. With olives and pearled couscous, this time it came out better than before.
I really kinda bombed this dish being so distracted thinking about work today.
First I chopped off the top of the peppers, then realized we need the top to keep the belly open cut together.
I then filled the pot to 3/4 capacity and thought “we don’t drain this after cooking the couscous? that looks like a lot of water.. the couscous can really absorb it?” and then realized that the recipe said to put 3/4 cup of water. The couscous came out super porridgy. Tried to make up for it by over cooking the leftover couscous in the oven, trying to make it crispy.

I overheard a couple behind me as i cross the street
“so it is an actual church. I don’t think we’ll be allowed to being in our booze”
“so what? Jesus converted water to wine”
I tried to repeat last week‘s Blue Apron Orange-Olive Chicken recipe but H Mart didn’t have olives and I didn’t realize that the olives-in-a-jar that I saw at Ralphs is how olives are normally sold. So I put mushrooms instead. And marinated the chicken for one day instead of 10 minutes.
It doesn’t… quite taste as vibrant as the original dish. It’s alright though. The chicken felt relatively dry for something that’s been marinated for so long. Maybe it’s because it was in the freezer for a few weeks.
great
I did it
I came to this middle eastern chicken sandwich place in this pretentious neighborhood
and ordered to eat here
saw the tip in the credit card terminal defaulting to 15%
and chose $0
Dill moment
it just had very much fast food vibes to it
due to the weird glass kiosk
so I thought I was just stopping this sandwich place, (“starbucks”) from charging me tip
but maybe what happened is that I ended up tipping $0 in a restaurant
(whisper) sorry guys
