Baked Falafel & Curry


This is unrelated to the content of this post, but Nick and I have been together 8 years today! Isn't that crazy? This is strange, but I always think of years in terms of how long I was in high school and/or college. Like, in the time we've been together, I could have gone through all of high school and college AGAIN. We must really like each other.

We also really like this falafel & curry dish, which has become a staple in the Surznick house. It's one of those meals that is easy enough to whip up when you have guests, but probably still new and different for them to try. We love it and we think you will too!
