Went to FC today.  One of the ladies made a quick lentil appetizer with Trader Joe's ready-to-serve lentils and the Bruschetta Sauce and served it with tortilla chips--the time/taste ratio makes this a winner!
Note:  the TJ recipe uses feta and only 1/2 the bruschetta sauce.

This past week I was able to join a couple of ladies at Marche Moderne at South Coast Plaza.  The prix fixe lunch at $25 was a good way to try a salad, main, and dessert.  It must be true that one eats with the eyes.  The presentation was key--quinoa salad, pork w/red cabbage and potatoes and a panna cotta with blueberry sauce.
