[ols] Dinner, week 1

[magid]

It feels a bit like cheating, but it's my usual weekly routine: use Shabbat leftovers as the basis for the simpler meals the rest of the week (well, until they run out, which varies depending on how much I want to cook).

So last night's local dinner was a revamping of some of Friday's local dinner: I reheated the sauteed greens and crumbled in the last of the rolls. Once they were heated through, I poured in some eggs (Pete & Gerry's, Monroe, NH), letting them cook until the egg bits set. For dessert, more of the mostly-strawberry-with-a-little-rhubarb compote from Shabbat.

I never think of that as cheating.

When I'm on my own, I often cook enough Friday to last until the next Wednesday at least. I eat the same dinner every night, but I'm okay with that for less than a week. :)

Kinda cheating for the localness of the meal, not for making the meal at all. I put in the effort to make the food pretty much all local for Shabbat, then coasted using that this week, rather than trying to make other foods.

I couldn't face the same dinner every night for that many nights, I think. My goal is to make enough things that are easily transmogrified into something else so it can feel new enough and interesting enough while not being a lot of work.
