Good week, foodwise
Oct. 25th, 2009 10:29 amThis week's highlights, in food:
Spaghetti and meatball (yes, singular -- these were so big, one was a serving; ground beef was on a great sale, and I froze meatballs, hamburger patties, and some one-pound packages of just the meat. The kid approved.) -- served with spicy green beans the way cute-poet-chick taught me to make them.
Slow-cooked chili with some of the ground beef. The kid, once again, heartily approved of a chili that wasn't vegetarian. Two meat meals in one week -- I don't know, I may be slipping.
Homemade chiles rellenos, which are fussy but SO easy to make. The time-consuming part is seeding the peppers without ripping them apart; everything else is a snap.
Buttermilk pancakes today. (James is having his with eggs. Mine are fine just by themselves.)
Bought the stuff to make eggrolls yesterday, so today, I'm going to clean my abysmally dirty kitchen and then assemble a truckload of eggrolls. I'll cook some and freeze the rest.
Tonight's dinner will probably be farmer's pie (that's vegan shepherd's pie -- I make chickpea gravy, mix it with veggies and sometimes seitan or crumbles or something, top with roasted-garlic mashed potatoes, and bake).
Also, today, I plan to charge up the camera and start taking food pictures again. I miss it.
Food food food. Having lots of good food in the house makes me so happy.
