I'm going away this weekend, which will cut short the number of dinners I'm cooking this week. We got a bunch of interesting vegetables. Why don't I cook a little of everything all at once? It seemed like a good idea, and with Roy's help, we got it all done at the same time.
I was out of meats at home, and the chicken we got this week from Fair Shares is still frozen. I stopped at the market after work. I've really been enjoying the burgers I've made recently, so I bought some ground beef and hamburger buns. I used to make turkey burgers once a week or so, but I got tired of them. I also bought a sweet potato.
I had a lot of prep work to do. We were having sauteed kale, grilled spring onions, and sauteed mushrooms. Let's see:
Kale - this was already washed, but I had to cut the stems off and chop it
Spring onions - I had to figure out what parts of the spring onions we were supposed to eat (I needed Roy's help on that) and clean them
Mushrooms - I had to clean these and cut some of them up
I didn't know what I was doing, so I wanted to follow the instructions exactly. So I cooked all three separately. If I had gotten all of the prep work done first, it might have been okay. But I put the sweet potatoes in the oven and set the timer.
I had the kale and spring onions ready to go when the timer hit 20 minutes. I had to start cooking them soon, and I still had to mix some things into the ground beef and clean the mushrooms. Roy helped wilting the kale and turning the onions on the grill while I finished prepping. There was a lot going on at once! I'm not doing all of this again! It did turn out well.
Oh yeah, Roy and I both had bagels for breakfast, and Roy's been snacking on the strawberries.
