MENU
FOR THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 17, 2012
Fall
is upon us. We did have one bad rain
storm this week which engulfed the unpicked cherry tomatoes. I don’t think we’ll see any more this
season. But it was a good run.
Still
working on clearing out the leftovers section of the freezer. It is so easy to
have dinner already done. All I need is
a starch and a salad. And yes, I’m still
cooking rice. I will take the precaution
of rinsing it beforehand, but I can’t imagine that it is going to do real
damage to adults who eat a reasonably balanced diet. Do need to be using more barley and quinoa
and the like. I keep them in the pantry
– I just tend to forget about them.
Creatures of habit…
We
are in the throes of planning an upcoming party. Getting the house in order, washing the
curtains, rehanging pictures and the like.
And planning the menu. That’s the
fun part. What we are thinking of is a
cardiologist’s dream (as in Oh Goody!
More business!) But when one entertains – what the hell. Will have some healthy alternatives, however,
for our friends and family with diabetes.
The
key, I think, is (1) organization and (2) preparation. As they say at the CIA, Preparation Is
Everything. I’ve already got five
appetizers in the freezer in addition to having sausages and cheeses on
hand. Also, three ice creams. And one entrée. As we get closer to the date, I’ll continue
to add on to this collection leaving very little preparation a la minute. I ‘ll
have finalized the menu and you’ll see it here next week. We’re figuring about 30 people – give or
take. It’s a little hard to tell as any
number of folk have not rsvp-ed….One of my pet peeves…
