Discombobulated

So the switch to a mid week farm box pick up was successful. We seem to have recovered our weekends. The crowd is much smaller, so it is easy in, easy out, and quite friendly. However the menu plan has taken quite the hit, the change coinciding with the summer break was probably apt to derail the system anyway. So I am making a spicy green bean & mushroom stir fry with sushi rice for dinner Monday, and Burritos on Tuesday. Now that I think of it Burrito/Taco Night on Farm Box day is probably an excellent plan, easy prep, the ingredients are usually on hand and Vallarta is an easy stop in conjunction with Farm Box pick up. I'm making raw dog food on farm box day with the old veggies so definitely a easy meal is required.

Tonight was burgers with potato kabobs. I made a cannellini bean salad to have with pitas tomorrow for lunch and our favorite AB chocolate chip recipe is chilling in the fridge, "the chewy". I also have a sugar cookie recipe on deck to try, once I have inventoried the sprinkle situation

What's for Dinner 6/9-6-14

The problem with the long week menu plan is it inevitably gets derailed by a missing ingredient or unexpected activity. I have two meals planned but not yet prepared, and today doesn't look promising for following through. I lied about about tonight, by switching the steak to a salad ingredient, one meal plan stays on track. So easily distracted am I. Tonight I grocery list and tomorrow I shop, this new non-weekend farm box is going to take some getting used to.

Tuesday
Pepper Crusted Flank Steak Salad (normally I'd make couscous, but the pantry is deficient today) And yet fail...the flank steak was just old enough that I didn't trust it...and it was time for dinner from Vallarta.

Wednesday
Curry Chicken Pot Pie (previously thwarted by a lack of puff pasty...grrr)

Thursday
6th Grade Grad Party (commence eye rolling)
I am making two kinds of quiche & coffee cake for a post ceremony brunch/lunch, as inspired by Epicurious & Chowhound. I hope to post specifics later.

Friday
The Grands want to take the kid out to dinner for surviving half of his school years, fine, whatevs.

Saturday
Scallops & Mushroom Brochettes
