Today’s Dish - November 2025

Today’s Dish- November Intro.  

A letter from the Edge of Love, Toast, and maybe Mincemeat   
November doesn’t ask for much. Just a little surrender. A thicker sock, and maybe the courage to eat something soft. In silence, while the wind whispers and the rain taps on the window like it knows your name.   
It’s the season of longer darkness and shorter tempers, of apples baked and forgotten, of supermarket mincemeat comparisons you swore you’d never do again, and yet, here we are, tasting, ranking, judging, laughing.   
This month we might eat by the fire, or in bed, or in the car outside Lidl. We might get a job and live on toast and self-doubt. We might cook a fiesta just because we miss someone who’ll never eat it.   
But no matter what, we’ll be here. Posting, roasting, dancing with the frying pans, serving comfort and nonsense and chaos in every dish we create. Because this is not just food. It’s love served warm, sometimes in a mug, often in crisis.    
Welcome to November at Today’s Dish. We’re glad you come hungry.

1. Bulgur, Peppers, and a Bit of Disappointment  

The okey-ish bulgur staffed peppers with effort and not much else.   
The dish was intentionally good. On paper. Peppers filled with bulgur mixed with bolognese leftovers in disguise. Baked with the hope of transformation. And some mozzarella cheese.   
The truth. This wasn’t bad. But it wasn’t that good either. We tried to turn leftovers into a new meal. Points for effort. But it lacked drama, lacked crunch, lacked … enough cheese.   
What we said at the table? It’s… edible, it’s not as tasty as we hoped, maybe if we add more cheese next time?   
Conclusion - sometimes food is just food. No violins, or scandal. Just something to chew on. We’ll do better tomorrow. We always do.
