Still trying to help with cooking for 2 w̶i̶l̶d̶ ̶&̶ ̶c̶r̶a̶z̶y̶ mildly interesting adults in Happy Valley, with slowly increasing mobility. Woo hoo!
Last week’s planning was somewhat followed, but not quite. Life has a way of … well, getting in the way of plans. Nonetheless, we eat well at casa lingua 
Alas, no Sichuan jour fixe tonight, as I dropped the organizational ball. Next week, perhaps. Instead, another fiery Thai red coconut curry with black tiger shrimp, baby bok choy, snow peas & red pepper is in order, served with jasmine rice.
I have VD shows both tomorrow & Saturday, and the venues will be providing food. The place tomorrow is new, so I have no idea what to expect; Saturday’s brewery had us make our entree choices from their VD menu in advance, and I established that each of us had to get a different one 
. Firecracker salmon fried rice for me, shrimp & grits for the keys, prime rib for the bass. They better share 
Sunday I have band practice — a music-filled weekend, so to speak. Something easy TBD.
Monday I’ve been craving Tuscan soup ever since @GretchenS mentioned it here or in WFD, and I have an abundance of liquid gold aka chicken stock in the freezer still. Just need to get kale, taters, TJ’s screamingly hot Italian snossidges, and we’re good to go.
Tuesday / Mardi Gras is our traditional gig at the gay bar 
: oyster shooters, festive cocktails, hopefully some gumbo or jambalaya. Our last show with the child drummer, who graduates this year and is moving away.
Wednesday depends on just how wet Fat Tuesday got. Something to sop up the booze is my guess.
Thursday mabez that Sichuan jour fixe… we’ll see.
Happy eatings, fellow HOs.
