Saturday: Event - Overnight in Madison to visit Emily
Dinner at the Vientiane Restaurant (Thai)
Ben: Nice, but not exceptional, though the loop of Thai pop music videos projected on the back wall was a nice touch.
Sunday:
Minestrone Soup (inspired by the Marcella Hazan recipe in Classic Italian Cookbook)
French Bread
Carrie: Fabuloso! I had leftovers of this soup just about every day this week and didn't get tired of it.
Monday:
Burritos
Corn
Tuesday: Event - Ben in Boston
Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce
Green Beans
Wednesday: Event - Ben stuck in Detroit!
Frozen pizza
Edamame
Carrie: Since it was just me this night :( I decided to finally make the small frozen pizza that had been in the freezer for half a year. I stopped by Whole Foods to pick up one of my favorites to accompany it: edamame! Yum! Also, this meal christened our new toaster oven. A Krups model that has fantastically fast and hot heating elements. We said goodbye to the old Russell Hobbs brand, but I'm quite inclined to call the new one Russell as well.
Thursday:
Jalepeno and cheese tamales
Spinach
Ben: This was a store-bought meal, so the only cooking excitement was the inauguration of our new pressure cooker, which we used to cook the frozen spinach: not a bold culinary adventure, but actually a task that we'd never used our old cooker for. With our microwave barely functional, this may be the best way to quickly thaw and cook frozen veggies.
Friday:
Stir-fry Noodles with Seitan, Ginger, and Scallions, Sass p. 168
Ben: Used soba noodles instead of the udon called for in the recipe, and also added snow peas and sprouts. Very tasty.
