I guess last week was the first week of meal planning sans farmers market, but it was a down week so it doesn’t really count anyway, right?  This is the first week I’m taking advantage of the lack of farmers market, which has the downside of no local veg, but the upside of getting to plan WHATEVER I WANT. 

It’s still a screwy week due to my upcoming choir concert with rehearsal two nights of the week and the concert one night (plus the following Sunday as well).  I didn’t want to give up cooking all of those nights, so I’m making something quick for meal 5. 

Most of the new (recipes this week come from the new Cook’s Illustrated 2011 Annual which arrived on my doorstep last week – very exciting.  I’m looking forward to getting back to cooking from cookbooks!  Recipes from the book are in meals 1, 3, 4, and 6.  The only other new recipe is from my google bookmark collection. 

So I guess it’s a fairly straightforward week – I’m excited to be making so many new (recipes!
