My main challenge for this week is apathy.  After a long, fun, and tiring weekend at GenCon, my motivation is pretty much non-existent.  However, we still need to eat which means I still need to plan meals.  

Thankfully it’s a short week for meals.  We had hoagies from Wawa last night after getting home from a day of travel.  On Saturday we’re meeting with potential friends with the hope of forming a role-playing group.  I made quiche last week (which feels like months ago) when my brother was visiting which means there’s one in the freezer to serve as tonight’s dinner.  Tomorrow Lance and I will hit the grocery store and the farmer’s market for the remaining ingredients we’ll need for the week and that will be that.  

I received a free trial issue of Cook’s Country last week and meal 3 includes two recipes from that magazine.  It seems like a fairly excellent magazine, by the way, I plan to start collecting the annuals since I find them to be more space-efficient.  And I am running out of space on my cookbook shelves!  Thankfully Cook’s Country only has 3-4 years of annuals to collect… unlike Cook’s Illustrated

Aside from tomatoes I’m sort of shirking my CSA this week.  Art did pick up our box while I was out of town and even took pictures!  I’m sure that most of the non-tomato veggies will be turned into simple side dishes, grilled to be added to pasta sauce, or I will just be hopeful that they’ll last until next week when I have more motivation.  

It’s good to be home!
