Today all day it felt like something Georgian. Shkmeruli to be exact. So I peeled and smashed a nice pile of garlic — a head and a half about.

As I was reaching for that garlic, I noticed a few potatoes asking to be used and thought of Odjakhuri. Peeled those. Added carrots for the illusion of plenty.

When everything was coming together nicely in the oven, my daughter’s cat knocked over a bouquet of parsley, cilantro, and dill on the counter spilling water all over. Chakhokhbili came to mind and I chopped them all. Besides the cat (swipe).

Some khmeli-suneli, paprika, cayenne, and here’s the final result. Not bad. Not bad.
