Assorted celebratory comestibles

Saturday brunch (birthday, return of a friend, my own good news, a friend's awesome new plan, general awesomeness of everybody):

- Blueberry muffins
- Pizza with accidental rye flour (oops but still good; a little denser/damper than would be ideal), roasted eggplant, pesto, mozzarella and cheddar (i.e. scraps at bottom of cheese drawer), cherry tomatoes, and prosciutto
- Ciabatta with smoked whitefish salad (fresh from the North East!), quick-pickled red onions, some pickled cucumbers I made a while ago and just decanted, and sliced tomatoes
- Watermelon-cantaloupe-lime agua fresca
- Lots of prosecco & iced coffee

Sunday dinner (a birthday/my adoration for Madhur Jaffrey):

- Naan
- Punjabi Rajma (can't find the recipe online; kidney beans cooked with ginger, then add some cream and turmeric and lemon juice and salt, finally do a tarka thingy with butter, more ginger, garlic, cumin etc.)
- Rice
- Green beans with ginger and cilantro
- Corn and potato awesomeness

Also: alligator sausage po boy (dressed w/ hot sauce, of course) and sweet potato fries at Parkway; lounging, yoga, wine, catching up with dear friends, losing all self-control at the farmers' market.
