a minor quandary

[dchenes]

There should be a subcategory of "never go food shopping when you're hungry". My problem lately is "never go food shopping when you have enough ideas for about three weeks' worth of meals". I end up buying food for about three weeks' worth of meals, because most of the time I'm convinced I'll forget the idea in a week unless the ingredients for it are staring at me every time I open the fridge. (And then I forget anyway, and sometime a month later I encounter something in the fridge that's verging on sentient, and then I kick myself.)

So now I've got ingredients for quiche, and ingredients for tofu stirfry, and ingredients for the vinegar pork recipe sierciamentioned, and I still have pork chops from last week that I've got to do something with (I'd try the vinegar pork with those since they're loin chops, but I want to follow the recipe as written first). I wish I could break myself of this particular habit.

Oh well, at least I also got decent apples, and cereal bars to take to work, and I got a fair bit of exercise because I walked to Brighton from Roxbury and then back from Brighton to Coolidge Corner. Hopefully the exercise makes up for the neutron cake I ate yesterday (it was advertised as "dense chocolate cake" and it certainly was.)
