Osh Pyozee Stuffed Onions
Saturdays are my favorite day. They never used to be- for years Thursday was my favorite. I’m not sure if that had to do with the fact that Friends was on TV (did I just date myself?) or because it was almost Friday, but over ten years later my favorite day is Saturday. Not much happens on Saturdays: I get up, hit the gym, buy my groceries and buckle down for 3-4 hours in the kitchen, music blaring in the background as my grocery bags empty and my refrigerator fills. It’s my favorite part of the week, I’m doing what I love, and should something else fun get in the way (college football comes to mind), no matter how much fun I’m having, a small a part of me misses my day off and the sense of calm and accomplishment that comes from it. And these osh pyozee stuffed onions are definitely a new kind of accomplishment.

Gujarati Dal
I’ve watched Mom make lentils, or dal, probably a gazillion times. Exaggeration? Perhaps, but a bowl of dal and rice graced our dinner table each and every day from the time I was born until I moved out of the house to head to college. You see, my dad ate it every night alongside whatever else we were eating. Spaghetti with a side of dal. Cabbage rolls with a side of dal. Stir fry with a side of dal.
