Hello from Pasadena, CA, where the Rose Parade (and Bowl) crowds have dissipated, it’s somewhat sunny yet cool, the Christmas decorations are still up in our home, and I’m resolved to get through the pandemic stockpiles as I cook for two adults.
We finished the last of our NYE leftovers last night (Wed), and the holiday treats are gone, so starting fresh from a mostly empty fridge and a grocery trip later today.
(I’ve been on a soft food diet since mid-December, when I took out two molars thanks to an almond - so I’m mostly living on puréed soup, applesauce, overcooked pasta, and such; can’t wait to chew food again!)
Thur: Veggie burger, salad, put some beans in to soak overnight. (I’m having soup.)
Fri: Probably doctored-up frozen pizza from grocery, salad, bread pudding from freezer. (I’m having soup.)
Make minestrone soup.
Sat: Make quick focaccia and have that with the soup, plus salad and the bread pudding for dessert? (I’ll likely mush up my soup serving.)
Sun: Repeat with different dessert.
Mon: See above, but a late afternoon dental appointment will determine if I’m able to finally partake of the whole meal. If so, I may just have a ginormous salad.
Tues and Wed: TBD
Have a great week!
