I made falafels last night for dinner that were just as good as the ones at the street fairs. I changed the recipe a bit- we didn't have time for them to sit in the refrigerator (didn't notice that part when I was planning dinner) so I added a couple of tablespoons of extra flour and cooked them right away. I also forgot the garlic while everything was in the food processor (I was tired, OK?) so I threw in some garlic powder and stirred it in right before I made the patties. We had them on pita bread with a quick.... tzadziki.. (spelling?) sauce made with plain yogurt, diced cucumber, cumin, and dill. We also added lettuce, tomato, and some diced scallions. YUM-O.
PS: DH made the tza... yogurt sauce. He looked up several recipes on-line then made his own by throwing together Greek yogurt with some diced cucumber, seasoned with dill, cumin, and a touch of paprika. (He says he'll leave out the paprika next time, but I think it was great just the way it was.)
Thanks for dropping by my corner of the internet; grab a chair and sit a spell. I have all sorts of things to share. Things I struggle with like fibromyalgia, my son’s learning disabilities and trying not to gain back lost weight. Things that make up my work like homeschooling, feeding my family and volunteering. Things I do for fun like biking, gardening and reading. Things I think about like politics and how to make the world a better place. All sorts of things that spark my desire to write.

I have never had a falafel but I have always wanted to try one.
