Menu for the Week of February 14

Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours! We had our fancy-pants Valentine's dinner last night: farmed Little Bay oysters on the half shell, pollock polpette (fish meatballs - trust me) over home-made linguine (topped with crunchy breadcrumbs), roasted beet and fennel salad. For dessert, we enjoyed a goat's milk rice pudding with cajeta (like dulce de leche). Lordy be, what a meal.

Sunday
Persian pilaf with greens, herbs and potato crust
Black-eyed peas with walnut sauce

Pad Thai (making sure I'm in good shape for teaching y'all on Friday)
Papaya salad with green apple

Tuesday

Stewed lentils
Herbed beets
Green salad with lemon dressing

Thursday
Last Night Dinner's gnudi (from the freezer) in marinara
