When the cat's away.....

...the mouse has a burger! T. was away last weekend and so the A-man and I indulged in a burger. Which he didn't like and which promptly made me feel ill. Here they are half-formed and under-cooked in the frying pan. Besides roasted chicken, I'm not convinced I know how to cook meat well....

Plans and experiments continue on the cooking front. Above you will see the A-man chowing down on an orzo-peas-pesto-asiago combination that I made and froze up last week. We are still tweeking the weekly cook-a-thon but these days I'm thinking that Sunday should see two complete sets of frozen entrees for the week, one container of roasted veggies and something sweet. With that to count on, some fresh fruit and dairy, eggs, a few fresh-cooked meals and a couple of prepared foods like the shu mai that we've taken to buying every week, that takes us through a full week of three meals-a-day plus two snacks.

Last week's other major frozen dish was chana masala, but it's clear that the A-man likes dal better. Coming up: roasted banana ice cream, via David Lebovitz...
