I have the week planned early this time! I’ve got next week “planned” too, in fact. You’ll laugh when you see my amazing planning skills.
This week is sort of a weird one. My take on my family’s traditional Junk Food Day for New Year’s Day is Appetizer Day. We each picked a few appetizers and then I made the final selection of six. We’ll be grazing on those appetizers as the day progresses. Lots of yumminess.
For meal 2, our good friend Brian will be coming over and I’m going to attempt to recreate the Lebanese feast we had with my parents on the 23rd. I’m looking forward to getting these (recipes made at home so I can share the (recipes with all of you and get some pictures taken. I just hope I can find the bulgar called for in the Tabbouleh recipe!
The rest of the week, all three meals of it, are for stocking the fridge and freezer with Lance’s favorites since Art and I will be gone for an ENTIRE week of vacation to Williamsburg, VA. This is very exciting, but I need to ensure that Lance won’t resort to delivery too often while I’m gone.
Lots of cooking this week and all of it good. Here’s hoping 2012 is grand for all of us.
