Looking back on entries in this blog, Wednesdays have been kind of stressful. I have to go pick up the new food from Fair Shares, figure out what to do with it, clean it, and then cook dinner. Even more stressful today, it rained heavily, pounding against our front window. Some of the rain made it through to our floor and damaged some papers. Roy was drying off things while I was cooking.
I made a salad first before I started preparing any of the other foods. I barely dented the head of lettuce I got last week. I used that for the salad.
It amazes me how my food habits changed since getting this food every week from Fair Shares. I used to avoid mushrooms and broccoli. I'd only eat them in a veggie lasagna where they'd be buried with other flavors and not be easily removed. And here I am, making a meal with both of those vegetables. They're not my favorite things to eat, but not as yucky as they've seemed in the past.
We got more eggs this week. I still had four eggs left over from last week, so we made omelets with sauteed mushrooms and broccoli.
The broccoli was scary though. These stalks were huge. I'd never bought broccoli before, but I cut most of the stems off.
I used the two smaller stalks for dinner tonight.
I used several foods from Fair Shares. For the salad, I used the head of lettuce, radish, scallions, olive oil. For the main course, I used the eggs, broccoli, mushrooms, and cheddar cheese. Roy used the last of the sun-dried tomato bread from last week.
