2. 1/4 chicken

It's in there! With cabbage, greens, noodles. The potato I forgot was still in the oven from yesterday. So it's been baked twice. This week I grabbed a $3 whole chicken! There's a food inflation fighter. When chickens were scarce about 7 or 8 years ago I was shocked one day to find them at $10-12. Ordinary, non-organic, house brand. So that I still find them at $6 and under is good news.

6. Homemade hummus in pitas

side was roast vegetables (sweet potato, turnip, onion, green beans and cauliflower) with za'atar. Last weekend we were in Kansas City, and shopped at a Mediterranean market. The pitas were made in KC, and we got a good-sized bag of za'atar. Tomorrow I plan to roast a chicken spiced with za'atar.
