Short and sweet, this is what our weekly menu looks like:’
Monday: Samosa pie with pineapple and raisin chutney, and chicken tikka masala. I love this pie from Vegetarian Times. Yummy, and frugal ta boot!
Tuesday: Smoked sausage with saurkraut and potatoes. Yes, there’s a lot of potatoes this week. We have some to use up. I work late on Tuesdays, and Thadd’s got a late day at school; so, this is a fast meal that uses up some leftover ingredients.
Wednesday: Shawn’s Indian & Chocolate Chili. It’s heading towards spring here, with temperatures hitting the 60s this week. This could be the last time we have this until next Fall.
Thursday: Chicken with roasted broccoli and spaghetti squash. We use spaghetti squash just like we would noodles. In this case, I’ll make a light sauce from the chicken drippings, and toss the chicken and broccoli in with the squash.
Friday: Tofu saag over brown basamati rice. Saag is kind of like a stew. This one will have Twin Oaks tofu, spinach, and mustard greens. It’s really rich and filling but naturally low-fat and low-calorie, and is one of Thadd’s specialties.
Saturday: Black Bean burgers with some kind of vegetable and bulgar pilaf. These are the black bean burgers I served at the Will Allen seminar that went over so well. They’re fabulous, and vegan! I don’t us a bun, but Thadd does. We top them with a cucumber relish and tomato (and sometimes mushrooms or cheese).
As always, lunches are mostly leftovers. Breakfasts are the usual suspects. What are you eating this week?

Our house is finishing up using the raw milk from our local dairy this week, but we rarely drink glasses of milk, so yogurt, ice cream (who cares about winter!), butter, and cheese are all possibilities.
An incredible gift of two salmon heads from our local sushi chef and friend will yield some wonderful fish stock for freezing. We’re still working our way through the Freezer of Meat Doom!(TM) as we consume more of the venison we’ve hunted.
And I think pasta will happen, possibly for drying, because of the whey we’ll have left from the aforementioned cheese making.

Is it wrong that I am jealous of your fish heads?

FYI, the link that’s supposed to lead to the samosa pie recipe leads to a listing for a CD release party in Lynchburg.

Hm…well, I guess you all know where we’ll be tomorrow, eh? I wonder how I got that messed up? Should be fixed within the hour, but you might have to refresh.
