Weekly Menu – January 17th (and a funny video)
It has been a long time since I’ve posted a menu. I guess it has been that long since I’ve done a menu. My throat started hurting again. Yippee.
Saturday: Pizza — I used high gluten flour, kindly provided by Verminiusrex. I didn’t notice a difference in my dough than when I use bread flour. The bread flour I use is 12.7% protein. It works great for pizza dough, and I can get it in 5lb bags. I’ll have to see what kind of high gluten flour is at Costco and find out if it is worth having to store huge amounts of it over just buying my 5lb bag of bread flour. I don’t bake in bulk.
Sunday: Breakfast – pancakes–It has been awhile since we have had these. And coffee. For me. It is rare for me to not make coffee in the morning. I only mention it because my SIL, BIL and FIL went to visit my BIL’s family in Bogotá and I was gifted coffee as a result of this trip. Cannot wait.
Dinner – Taco soup–this is really easy and really yummy and an excuse for me to buy Fritos.
Monday: Roast chicken with Rosemary-Garlic Paste and Roasted Root Vegetables with Rosemary–since, you know, I’m roasting and using rosemary.
Tuesday: Leftovers, but not the vegetables from Monday
Wednesday: Root Vegetable Bisque — which is why we can’t eat the vegetables on Tuesday.
Thursday: Fish and Asparagus in Orange Butter with Cheddar Mashed Potato Gratin — I’m going to steam the fish and asparagus with the orange butter in parchment paper.
Friday — ??? Leftovers, going out to eat. Who knows. Obviously, not me.
I also have to repost this gem.
