Wandering Adventure Party

I used this recipe: marthafuckinstewart

Basically only used it as an ingredient list. I did not go to the trouble of melting half the butter with the lemon zest.

I like to instead rub the lemon zest in with the cane sugar when I make these. I do this process with any dessert with citrus zest, idk I just feel like the flavor is bright with this process. I do it first and let it rest 10-15 mins.

Then just cream the lemon sugar with the room temp butter as normal and follow the rest of the recipe. I dont know her oven, but I know mine, and baked them at 350 for 12 mins.

Delicate little cookies that were very quick to pull off, enjoyed them on a late spring night plated with tea

I do this too sometimes, it's good. I like using coconut milk

Sometimes I'll cook frozen berries down with equal parts sugar, make a sweet berry sauce and use that with skyr and/or oatmeal. Berry sauce is cool to have in the fridge on hand

Are those meant to be dollar values? I buy these same items nearly weekly as needed. Your first five ingredients listed are double that here where I am in the states. Even the cherry tomatoes are $3-$4 for the small tub. I shop at my local grocer for reference. It's regional. I did buy a giant cucumber from Aldi today for $2 tho so theres that. Idk why it was so fucking big, giant produce freaks me out. Onions are massive too, annoying when you're buying by weight. But we get giant cucumbers covered in wax, and giant fucking onions the size of a baby's head.

But yeah, if this is the US dollar comparison its easily double where I live.

Honestly you are not far off by my estimate. I actually made this same meal just two weeks ago, in New England, for reference.

No feta for us, and i use Hot House tomatoes (bought the Canadian ones, something just over $3 a pound), and I use a whole bundle of cilantro $1. I served it with Cajun thighs, got the small pack, $5, made the dressing with Cajun seasoning too, I was obsessed with this salad

I made enough probably to feed five servings of salad, three servings of chicken. I went to the store soley for dinner's produce and chicken. I might have gotten an extra onion for the house and maybe some bananas too, both cheap items but. . . $40 receipt. Take off for the couple extras, its likely $30-$35

I remember saying, damn, about it at checkout

Half these ingredients needed are planted in my garden right now lmao hoping they grow alright and save us some pennies

I remember being freshly 18/19 preparing dinners for ourselves for the fist time out on our own, my sister and I just decided we don't like the lettuce, it does absolutely get soggy, why does it need to be in there? Thus, we came up with lettuceless salads, already a thing.

I like to take these basically same ingredients and dice them as nice as I can manage, add herbage, little olive oil and lemon mmmmm Best salad on a summer day aye

The tomatoes are so pretty, is there a specific way you dressed them?

I love circle dinner

I have kidney stones sometimes. They told me I couldn't have leafy greens, and I was heartbroken.

I ignore it and just drink hella water with meals, so far it's okay, but my shit hurts just thinking about passing another stone. Shit is rough rough, I feel for her
