Hi everyone!
Hope those hit with winter storms are staying safe and cozy, and everyone has had a smooth start to the year.
We are almost done with leftovers, now transitioning to working through ingredient pile-up in the freezer.
Ideas for the coming week:
– Sushi bowls: spicy shrimp, wasabi slaw, sesame carrots, sushi rice, furikake. I may try crisping the rice if I remember to make it early enough for it to cool 
– Pizza! We have not had pizza night since I got back. I have to remember to start the dough, though.
– Manicotti (pasta is cooked and frozen, needs to be filled) with Marcella-ish tomato sauce and focaccia
– Vat of veggie ramen (sis specialty), maybe with momos added (i may have ordered too many… 
)
– Kheema parathas + yogurt + pickle
– Fondue gratin / bake: I’m working on the concept, as fondue still doesn’t quite work for mom’s setup, but I think I can turn it into a cheese sauce over many of the same vegetables, with some nice crusty bread to get all the good stuff. Let’s see. Oh, we have A LOT of frozen fondue packets driving this idea.
– Malwani coconut chicken (and veg) curry + chapatis + rice (curry base is made and frozen).
– Fish Ambotik from a former COTM – had planned to make this for my sis ages ago but totally forgot about it.
On my agenda for this week is to BAKE SOMETHING! I overheard mom praising the homemade bread and focaccia I made for her last year to my brother, and my lazy self has yet to start dough because we were buried in bread until two days ago. I’ve got a basic boule, focaccia, and something chocolatey for her on my list.
Also, PIZZA! Homemade Pizza is DOTQ, and even though I proposed it because I knew I could make it a few times while I’m visiting mom, I still haven’t made it even once 
Wish you all a delicious and peaceful week ahead.
