Chiming in on vegetarian dishes: Yotam Ottolenghi's black pepper tofu, oh LORD. In my house we call it "tofu crack." https://www.ottolenghi.co.uk/black-pepper-tofu-a-shop if you're interested.

I daydream about fictional characters all the time, only I'm all fancy and call it "working out the plot of this fic I'm writing." *snort snort snort*
