We got back in enough time to do all those post-vacation things: laundry, grocery shopping, cleaning up any cat-related mishaps, etc. This week's menu is designed to be easy and flexible. I have no idea what my work week will be like, so I need to make sure that the meals are simple and quick to pull together.
This Sunday I will:
- Make oven-roasted tomato sauce (I am taking lots of pictures of this so I can post the method for you)
- Make ricotta (yes, I am a little insane - but it was so good last time)
- Prep the lamb mixture for lamb kabobs
- Grill some zucchini for the gnocchi salad (I will do this while we're cooking Sunday dinner, since the grill will already be on)
- Make Sunday dinner

Hi Mary! This is your cousin, Julie! I meant to write you before after we were briefly in Maine in July and my Mom made your Thai Spiced Pork, I believe it was -- wonderful blog-- you're crazy (crazy-amazing, that is)! We are moving to Portland, Maine in November - probably the sister network has already filled you in - look forward to seeing you both in the coming year.
Julie
Nice to hear from you - looking forward to having you back stateside! Glad you like the site. Maybe you can contribute your favorite recipe for tortilla? :-)
