Week of January 11

I am on the road for the beginning of the week and I had grand plans for posting. Guess who forgot her power cable? Sigh. I'm on a borrowed computer right now.

I've set up Beppo (he's holding down the fort) with a collection of made-ahead items, so the first half of the week is covered thanks to the freezer and the pantry. The rest is a good example of making do with only a few purchased items. I'll only need to find produce when I breeze through the supermarket at the end of my four hour drive on Wednesday.

Menu for the Week
Sunday
Turkey burgers on foccacia (both from the freezer)
Fennel and carrot sticks

Monday
Pork and tomatillo chili (made with the remnants of the pork shoulder we roasted last week - 2 more quarts went into the freezer for another day)

Tuesday
Beef ragu over pasta (ragu from the freezer)
Green salad

Wednesday
Smoked salmon and bialys (I'll pick these up on the drive home)
Cole slaw (cabbage keeps forever in the fridge)

Thursday
Thai-spiced coconut-vegetable curry over jasmine rice (I'm not sure what these will be yet - I'll see what looks good when I swing through the supermarket on my drive home. Probably sweet potatoes, napa cabbage and green beans.)

Friday
Pizza (dough's already in the freezer and toppings are always findable in the fridge)
