M’s sister, Rey, stayed with us last night and I cooked Thai curries for us all – a chicken version for M and Rey, and a veggie squash version for me. It was delicious. I thought she was leaving for Fremont this afternoon, but turns out she decided to stay another night.

Fine by me since she’s pretty awesome, but that did throw a wrench into my dinner plans.

I was going to just heat up the curry left over from yesterday for both M and I, make some sort of vegetable for the side and call it a day. There was no way the leftovers were going to feed three though.

I had to get creative.

Thankfully, we have plenty of produce from our Farmer Market’s trip on Sunday so it was easy to throw a few things together. I even decided to sacrifice my cute little red saucer bell pepper.

Cut into strips, I roasted the peppers along with another pan of corn and the yellow squashes I took home Friday from my CEO’s backyard.

I quickly chopped up a few tomatoes and assembled a caprese salad. These tomatoes from the market are spectacular. So juicy and flavorful. I love the pairing of basil and mozzarella with these tomatoes.

Food for three. I toasted up a few slices of wheat bread to sop up my curry because there wasn’t enough rice, and M did pop open the lids of the curry pots looking for more, but I think we all had enough.

Then we all ate the Specialty’s cookies M brought home. One milk chocolate and one oatmeal raisin. So good. It was Rey’s first time having a Specialty’s and she definitely said they were the best cookies she had.
