I had the leftover roast last night and funny--it didn't seem that overdone. Some of the grey color is from the smoke...I used a lot of hickory chips. Tri-tip is one of my favorite roasts to grill....very flavorful. I need to get another one for the freezer when I see them on sale.

After picking this ridiculous zucchini from the garden, I'm going to try Smitten Kitchen's zucchini butter spaghetti.

A lot of those are simple homemade dishes. Might be a bit time consuming, but if the chef is prepared, shouldn't take too long (baking aside). For example, the most time consuming component of bee hoon/rice vermicelli dishes is usually the time it takes to soak in water to soften the noodles. The rice flour dumplings (chwee kway) is likely the most labour intensive one as you have to get the mixture and put in little cups to steam. Then the preserved topping is a lot of chopping and reducing...

Trader Joe’s cauliflower gnocchi with Rao’s. I got the Rao’s on the recommendation of this board. I won’t get it again. Way too salty.

Hmm. I've cut my sodium way back in recent years and am pretty sensitive to it now. I don't find Rao's salty at all. Sweetish and non acidic is how I would describe it.
