Snow! I figure if it's gonna be cold, it might as well be snowing. But there are repercussions, especially for the family with school-aged children: the snow day! Alas, I have no vacation time, otherwise I would have played hooky today. As I had to work, and the boys, who go to school in Columbia, had to taken up there before the big snow hits later, I had to do the lunch hour shuffle today. Abbey, who was at home staying with Olivia enjoying the day off, hit me with a delicious to-go lunch to enjoy in my office.
Just look at this lunch! Wedges of revamped farinata, more the consistency of flatbread than a pancake (Go Abbey! one step closer to Phase one pizza!); cubes of pan-browned Hallumi; a delicious baba ghanouj, and a spinach salad with a spicy vinaigrette. As we agree, the secret authentic flavor in this mediterranean-inspired lunch is the sumac, sprinkled on the farinata whilst still warm which gave it an aroma straight out of my favorite Lebanese eatery. I'm really enjoying it. Thanks, honey!
