I think I’m going to try to break the habit of declaring weeks “normal” since it seems like normality varies with the phase of the moon. Normal or not, this week is a pretty straightforward one. Art will be gone for meals 2, 3, 4, and 5 due to business travel. Meals 3 and 5 are designed to be easy to accommodate choir practices.
The fish used in meal 2 is dependent upon what my store has in stock.
Meal 4 is the rare dinner out, since it’s the day I file taxes and eating out afterward is something of a tradition. We have plans to try out a new Japanese place in town.
We’ve also got a Game Day this week and a few of our gamers are bringing egg rolls and I’m doing other Chinese food to go along with that.
I used the 2009 Cook’s Country Annual and the 2009 Cook’s Illustrated Annual for the new recipes of the week.
