Week of Dec 30 - Jan 5

Saturday: in New Hampshire

• Homemade pizzas
• Salad
• Ben: We found a nice addition to the sauce repertoire -- a spicy pepper-based sauce (apparently a Yugoslav favorite, though the brand we found in the Littleton grocery store was Turkish) called Ajvar.

Sunday: in New Hampshire

• Cheese Fondue

Monday: in New Hampshire

• dinner at Indian restaurant in North Conway

Tuesday: return to Saint Paul (late)

• takeout from the Italian Pie Shoppe

Wednesday:

Thursday:

• Fried tofu cutlets with Patak brand "Hot Rogan Josh" sauce, served over rice
• Green beans with ghee
• Ben: The Rogan Josh sauce (a creamy tomato & cardomom) was not remotely hot -- in fact I really can't fathom what the "Mild" variety might taste like -- but it was good.
  

Friday:

• Ultimate Chickpea Noodle Soup, www.101cookbooks.com
  
• Campo de Montalban cheese with crispbread crackers
• Ben: A tasty soup, and a nice paring with the cheese, which was distinctive without being overpowering. The fried noodles used as a garnish were fun to make and added a crispy texture that I enjoyed.
