This was a theme dinner, based on the week's Torah portion- the Jews complaining about their desire for the "fish that we used to eat free in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic" (Numb. 11:5).
So I had:
flounder salad made with chopped-up flounder, mustard, and garlic (probably the best use I could think of for Dagim frozen flounder - unfortunately not saying much)
cucumbers
watermelon
General Tso's leeks- leeks baked for a while with Iron Chef sauce
boiled onions- (boiling softens them up)
and also a kind of baked rice cake (rice flour, cottage cheese, eggs - basically a not-too-successful attempt to find something to do with rice flour)
and a little cotton candy/vanilla wafers for dessert
