Dinner was tasty.
Seven (or however many) years of LJ haven't taught me much, but they did eventually teach me one thing: no matter how much I plan to, I will never write the huge catch-up entry I'm always meaning to write. So, um, hi everybody. Fancy running into you here.
eternal_fish and I have started planning food a week at a time. We both have high-stress personalities and unpredictable hours, so if we have to sit down every evening and improvise dinner we end up cranky and eating junk. Plan it out on Sunday afternoon, go grocery shopping, and we eat better - healthier and with more variety. We don't mind cooking during the week, just shopping and deciding to cook.
She's travelling with her mother for the next two weeks so I'm trying the same thing alone. So far, so good - I went shopping and I made my first solo stir fry tonight and it was damn good. This week's menu is heavy on leftovers, but I'll try a couple of new things with veggies. We've got a virtually unlimited supply; we joined a local farm's delivery service and even at the smallest amount they're willing to deliver, we've still got twice what we can eat.
