March 14 - 18

Happy Daylight Savings Time! Is it starting or ending? I have no idea. I know I'll just be messed up, time-wise, for the next week or so. Just another layer of confusion for my already addled brain...

But it also means spring is coming, right? The snow's mostly gone, I had the sunroof open last week (but now it's raining), and I've decided that if it snows again I'll tailspin into a deep weather-related depression. So, please, spring... stay.

And so we'll grill. Phil got a rotisserie attachment for the grill (not a Ronco countertop rotisserie from those grand infomercials) for his birthday, and we're taking it on the maiden voyage tonight. I'm very excited.

Sunday

Rotisserie Huli Huli Chicken

Roasted sweet potatoes

Roasted veggies

Monday

Huevos Rancheros: Pinto beans cooked with spices, salsa, maybe a little chorizo or leftover chicken and spread on tortillas. Bake the bean-covered tortillas in the oven for about 1o minutes, adding a little cheese so it melts. Fry an egg. Take the tortillas out, add cold toppings (avocado, shredded cabbage or lettuce, tomato, salsa) then top with the egg. Glorious.

Tuesday & Wednesday

Another nutty mid-week. We'll do grilled cheese sandwiches. Maybe tomato soup.

Thursday

Salmon cakes over salad: Not sure yet, but I think I'll just use some canned salmon, mix it with some tiny-chopped sauteed onion & celery, a little bit of bread crumb, a little bit of egg, shape into a little cake, cook in a pan, serve over salad. Maybe the salad will have roasted red pepper. Maybe pine nuts. Maybe not.

Have a lovely week!
