Week of October 14

This is picture of dried porcini mushrooms. They were a key ingredient in tonight's mushroom hash. Yum.

I was away all weekend so didn't get do to any cooking. So, this week's menu is a prize example of the "hunt and gather" philosophy of meal planning. I was down in New Jersey for the weekend, and on my drive back North, I stopped at the standard Boston-New York way station just north of Hartford: Rein's Deli in Vernon, Connecticut. That one pit stop allowed me to supplement my pantry staples and create a fun little meal plan.

This Sunday, I:
  • Went shopping.
  • Sent my husband to the supermarket. :-)

I read your manifesto anew (having read it months ago) and will now respond to your invitation to tell you my "challenges" for the week. They are these: Make supper do for lunches (which you have covered) and provide mid-morning "break food" for those who go to work early and are starving by 9:30 a.m. (which you have not covered to my knowlege.)Is this within your subject?
