1753. Burger Tacos


I have really grown a fondness for food trends on social media. Surprisingly, a larger proportion of the "hacks" or trends are successful and delicious. Then there are some repelling ones as well, such as the watermelon and mustard trend, but the ones I have tried have been mostly great. This burger taco is one such fantastic trend.

1752. Iraqi Grilled Tomato and Rice


Remember when I posted about Iraqi cucumbers and salt? Hardly a revelation, but it is something my father, may Allah bless and have mercy on his soul, used to sometimes snack on in the evening. It is something so simple that one would have to get out of their own head to consider sharing it. Same goes of this "recipe".

We already have great sandwich filling recipes here on MCW that are staples to any gathering or park outings: egg sandwich and tuna sandwich. Now we can gratefully add chicken sandwiches to this already fantastic repertoire and call it a day.

1749. Tofu Chocolate Mousse


This is a fun and new way to present chocolate mousse or pudding, using tofu. It was not my favorite especially compared to the original butter- and egg-laden version, but I thought I'd share anyway in case it tickles anyone's fancy.

1748. Cheese Olive and Tomato Danish


We have has savory puff pastry confections often enough on MCW, but another one is always welcome. This particular savory danish pastry combines the melodies of cheese, tomato, and olives for a delightful accompaniment to breakfast/brunch/afternoon tea, etc.
