Me, at Grandma Stewart’s in 1978.
This week we spent some time shopping a case lot sale to re-stock the pantry. We also went bargain hunting for produce through a bulk ordering process. When I do a bulk produce order, I don’t choose what I will receive. I just have to take what they give me. It makes life pretty interesting. I now have more vegetables in our refrigerator than I have ever had at one time. I even had 3 persimmons until I gave them away to our Chinese home teacher tonight. What does one do with 9 lemons? I’ve only ever used one at a time.
Our menu this week will include:
- chiles rellenos
- enchiladas with tomatillo sauce
- grilled zucchini and tomatoes with mozzarella cheese
- cucumbers in pasta salad, drenched in vinegar, and green salad
- several salads
- guacamole
- Fresh green beans
- homemade pizza
- lemon bars (to freeze)
- lemon sour cream pie (to inhale)
- carrot sticks, carrot stew, carrot cake
- homemade salsa
- mashed potatoes
- bananas, banana splits, banana bread, dried bananas, bananas flambe, bananas frozen on a stick with chocolate (well, maybe not all of these things)
- fresh limes (lemon-lime soda with fresh lime juice and lots of ice)
- zucchini bread using Sister Kunzler’s recipe
- pomegranates
Sigh, this picture makes me wish I had bought a cherry red cupboard like Grandma’s from an antique store years ago in Austin.
