What is this, a meal-planning blog?
It’s Monday again, and I’m planning another dinner. It’s not like I don’t eat in between, but my other meals seem like less of a production to me. Maybe it’s because my other meals aren’t prepped for four or more people, weekly. Maybe it’s because I use the leftovers and ideas from this Monday meal to inform my other meals. In any case, here’s my working draft for a menu:
- Kale, maybe with an apple-cider-vinaigrette and chopped toasted nuts.
- Yams, roasted with a coating of (non-hydrogenated) shortening.
- Baked apples.
And of course, bread and butter on the side. Still haven’t opened that jar of ghee – it just feels so decadent, using a spread that costs a dollar an ounce. On the other hand, some cheeses run multiple dollars per ounce…
Oh, and in other news: my refrigerator shut down unexpectedly last week, and I didn’t notice for a day or two, so *everything* thawed. Yeah, it’s back on again, and everything is back to temperature, but I think I lost a lot of food in the interim. Probably at least two hundred dollars worth. I was sorely disappointed, because I don’t want to waste food, and now I need to clean it out.
