Weekly Menu

[jennythereader]

Tom & I get our weekly CSA share on Wednesdays, and starting this week I'm trying something new.

I'm putting together an entire week's menu in advance.

This week we got: cucumbers, zucchini, summer squash, scallions, fennel, mesclun, spinach, lettuce, cilantro, and (I think Bing) cherries.

Our menu for the upcoming week is:
Everyday: Salad
Thursday: eat out with friends
Friday: Fettuccine with Oil, Garlic, and Zucchini from the book Fast Vegetarian Feasts. Because we aren't vegetarians I'll be adding chicken to this one.
Saturday: Cooked Curried Cucumbers, from F.V.F. I think I'll add beef to this one, although I haven't figured out the best way to do it. Served with rice.
Sunday: Spinach and Rice Gratin, served with ham. I haven't decided how to cook the ham.
Monday: Braised Fennel, from the Fannie Farmer Cookbook, served with chicken and rice. I haven't decided how to cook the chicken.
Tuesday: Spinach and Zucchini Casserole, from the F.F.C., served with steak and rice.
Wednesday: Leftovers

We've got way more lettuce/salad stuff than we can eat, so I'll probably give half of it to Mom, along with the cilantro, half the scallions, and half the cherries.

Good to see you back on LJ!

I'm really looking forward to being able to have a garden. The farm share is great, but I want a little more control over what I end up with.
