I made tabbouleh.  No raw tomatoes, as Alex (Mr. LL) is allergic to them. I added plenty of bell pepper instead. Lots of lemon zest and lemon juice, and tons and tons of mint and parsley. Red onion and cucumber too, plus a lot of ground pepper, Lawry's (if you're from the LA area, you know this is better than salt!) and 3 tbsp of EVOO. I felt it needed a little more zing so I added some white wine vinegar. I was out of bulgur wheat, so I replaced with some of the Banza chick pea "rice" which had a similarly nutty taste. Alex had a couple roast chicken thighs I'd rubbed in paprika/Lawry's/pepper/ground English mustard too but I was fine with just tabbouleh. And now enough for lunch for me tomorrow AND side dishes tomorrow night when I roast the other thighs. Only thing that might have improved it was a finely diced garlic clove or two.

What the heck is Lawry's? Inquiring minds want to know.

[laylalex 7,293]

Lawry's! 

https://lawrysalacart.com/2004/10/01/frank-talk-25/

 

It's available nearly everywhere in the US, but it's really common here to have it sprinkled on everything, especially fries. You still can find it on the table at diners as an extra condiment to salt and pepper. I use salt for cooking and Lawry's for seasoning. A potato rubbed in olive oil and coated in a dusting of Lawry's is always good eating.

Our stupid AC is not working. If only it wasn't humid with no breeze at all and mid 80s still in the middle of the night. Air so stale, hot and stagnant. Can't breathe, have headache, can't sleep. I really hope someone can come tomorrow to fix it. I don't want to do this all weekend.

Obviously you need to get smart AC. 🤣

 

Today and tomorrow we're forecast to have overnight lows in the low 50s and highs in the mid-80s. I'm wearing sweatpants and a hoodie right now; I won't be shocked if I turn on the A/C this afternoon.

Follow our simple, Many-step ([2+1]-step) method for completely energy-saving AC-ing, see KDC ma'am:

 

1.  Take off all your clothes, si KDC ma'am.

2.  Blow on a friend, si KDC ma'am.

Many.  Think clean thoughts, si KDC ma'am.*

 

*Caveat, see ma'am:  system often breaks down between steps 2 and Many, sigh ma'am

 

Another option is to rent a motel room for the night, like a local vacation ma'am.
