You might be able to tell from all the strikethroughs in last week’s menu, that last week did not go as planned. I had to serve the tomato dish earlier in the week due to tomato damage, the table delivery happened at an awkward time that caused me not to cook prior and then not to want to after, and the desire for sleep sort of collided with choir on Monday which left me with no time to cook between the two. Meal 2 is from last week’s meal plan.
I’ve got lots of veggies to use up this week from the market and CSA! I’ll be using turnips in meal 1, garlic chives and green garlic in meal 2, broccoli rabe in meal 6, and Swiss chard and spinach in meal 7. Radishes will be used throughout the week in salads.
The best “challenge” for the week is Art! He’s home for the entire week! Oh my gosh yay! I believe this is the first time he’s been home for an entire week since early March and since he always tells me how much he misses home cooked food while he’s traveling, I asked him for ideas of things he has especially been missing. Meals 3 and 5 were selected by him. I picked meal 6 with him in mind as well, since it’s one of his favorites and meal 7 is a result of him asking to try out the goat we got a few weeks ago.
Then there’s meal 4… I’ve been craving sushi something fierce. I can’t even remember the last time I had it which is a sad state of affairs!
Have a delicious week!
