lots to do

we used half the pumpkin for pumpkin flan, we devoured the delicious beans, and the beef went in the delicious chichilo negro mentioned below. That leaves a lot of vegetable though. Here are some ideas.

• [660] coconut-smothered pigeon peas with pumpkin, arrachay uttu sambhar
• broiled eggplant with polenta
• eggplant confit, or maybe a lasagne? Hm.
• [660] nutty-tart bell peppers with peanuts, mirchi nu shaak (two peppers still get chopped up for the freezer)
• macaroni and cheese with salami; braised collard greens
• we have lots of beets. ice cream? ravioli? risotto?
• roasted beet and bekana salad
• cabbage, apple, and caraway soup

interrupted week

We are going down to St Louis this weekend, so I can do some stuff before the methods meeting next week, and for Sebastian’s birthday and party. This affects food planning in two ways: we might bring one or two things down with us (in addition to the beautiful berries purchased for a sauce to go with his cake), and other stuff it would be nice to make a lot and freeze for next week. The box this week is extremely green and leafy, making that task a little trickier.

• massive nappa cabbage
• a giant kohlrabi
• bekana
• lettuce
• spinach
• arugula
• cherries and raspberries from a MI farm whose name I forget
• black raspberries from Klug

• calzones with spinach and ricotta
• macaroni and cheese with chorizo
• collard greens with bacon
• bekana and some nappa stir fried somehow, perhaps with noodles, and oysterbrown sauce
• lettuce salad with trader joes flax pasta, egg (for me), maybe lentil patties
• thai salad with nappa (much fish sauce, basil, cilantro, lime, toasted rice, maybe chicken or beef)
• swordfish with arugula and basil sauce

what to make

• strawberry gelato
• somtam-like thai salad with cabbage, tomatoes, dried shrimps
• braised radishes
• kale & radish greens some kind of curry
• mooli parathas
• asaparagus beef
• more salad
• candied bacon ice cream
