RESURRECTION PEAR-TUGRUL!

We are still thoroughly enjoying the 1000s of episodes of Resurrection Ertugrul, "the Turkish Game of Thrones!" It keeps us on the edge of our seats, joyfully humming theme songs day and night, and dreaming of Erti's next escape plan! Like our misunderstood hero, this week I had to take matters into my own hands since Zoran was just not buying my Pear-tugral theme. And so we start off with:

                                                Pear trio baked into chocolate chip banana bread

Charred eggplant in tomato broth topped with tuscan kale salad and afghan bread

melted gruyere or pan roasted mahi mahi

home-made crispy pita pocket with spicy mayo, roasted cheesey romanesco, 

and mango red cabbage slaw

home made sage parmesan lemon gnocchi, eggplant-beat and goat feta salad, kale and fried onion salad

                                 lemon lime elderflower liqueur and tequila margarita

                                    charred brussel sprouts with roasted beats and lemon cilantro dressing,

                                    buckwheat dough pizza with pineapple heirloom tomatoes, 

                                gruyere cheese and thyme; pan roasted salmon

But alas the chef came through for me, thematically speaking, 

with these marvelous lime-splashed pear-tinis!

and brown rice risotto with snap peas, fried tofu/mahi-mahi!
