I’ve been using a lot of short cuts and trying to clean out the fridge and freezer.
I’ll backtrack one day then go forward to Sunday, and post my Mon- Sun plans on Xmas Eve or Day!
Last night (Fri), I made salmon with butter, oregano, lemon, cherry tomatoes and some roast potatoes that I had in the fridge.
Slice of Leek quiche from a bakery called Pompette and.slice of Mushroom quiche from a bakery called Emmer, in Toronto. Both are so much better than mine so I splurge a couple times a month. Bush’s maple baked beans from a can, broccoli with evoo and lemon and a pinch of salt.
Crème Caramel in mason jars from Pompette bakery ( $6.50 each, enough for 2 people, the best value decadent dessert in Toronto, I think)
Tonight, Saturday, a duck cassoulet from a can that I purchased Boxing Week last Dec. It’s almost enough for 2 people, but we have 3 people for dinner 
Maybe Thursday’s leftover personal-sized St Hubert tourtières (a frozen tourtière from a regular chain grocery store). Boston lettuce salad with Renee’s Greek feta dressing from a jar. Not sure what to do with the celery that has become a little limp, probably will braise it.
Sunday/ Xmas Eve. This is a seafood supper for us. I want to make Dublin Lawyer, a lobster in whiskey cream sauce. I have 2 frozen Canadian lobsters for that. Baked beans, maybe from scratch. Frozen Oysters Rockefeller from the freezer (Metro grocery store, fka A & P/ Dominion, carries these and they are okay, not as good as mine but I want to clear the freezer!) Vegetables undecided. Off to grocery shop today! The Dublin Lawyer recipe is in this link: IRISH cooking - #4 by Phoenikia
