We've been cookin' (and eatin') a lot of foods made by them furriners. It started when we lived in Arizona before we moved here in 2018, and got hooked on Ethiopian food.

Twin Falls ID is a lot smaller and there simply aren't many restaurants here, so we cook for ourselves; we take turns on an every-other-day basis. Yesterday I made Thai tofu curry in yellow curry/coconut milk base, with whatever veggies I found in the fridge that hadn't walked away yet. The meal was pretty easy; I only used one pan.

Tonight, Dawn is making a Greek dinner, which is a lot harder: Avgolemono (chicken lemon egg soup), xoriatiki (red onion/feta/garlic salad), and gyros. We'd found a recipe on how to make "authentic-tasting" gyros using one lb. each lamburger and cowburger, with the usual spices and an egg binder in a meatloaf dish. It turned out great (even the texture). Hopefully, tonight's will be as good!
 
Well you know, times are about to get hard, so it's rice & beans. ;) Meatloaf tomorrow.

Rice, black beans, maybe a coupla eggs on top, sprinkle of cheese: that's one of our favorite breakfasts. We usually only eat twice a day, and this way we get a protein kick in the morning and we're good 'til dinner

that sounds like my sort of cooking! I made Thai red chicken curry today

I have made gyros also out of half ground lamb , half goat, turned out really good.
 
we have two big pots of soup going. Well actually more like stew but they are tasty and delicious. Going to eat a few meals just to make sure the seasoning is just right then freeze dry the rest..
When we reconstitute them from the freeze dryer we can adjust the amount of water we add to fill the number of bowls we are serving.
I just put another couple of shelves over the stove to hold some more of our seasonings....kinda reminds me of one of the grand cathedral organ keyboards...
Melody of spices.
