Hope your Labor Day weekend is proceeding enjoyably. We've already laid out the dinner plans through the holiday tomorrow, which doesn't leave much to be figured out for the rest of the week, so I'll knock this one out quickly.
By Tuesday, we'll want to use up the rest of the big bacon-corn chowder with shrimp made over the weekend, which will require nothing more than a salad and some fresh bread on the side.
I'm thinking of an experiment for Wednesday, inspired by a recipe from Saveur magazine, masa cakes with spicy slaw (pupusas con curtido). Saveur calls this an easy weekday dinner, but making the cakes from scratch sounds like way too much work for me. Why not take an easy (and local) shortcut by using the wonderful ones made by Tres Pupusas right here in Boulder? They're available at Whole Foods.
Since we haven't had pasta on the menu yet this week, we'll want some by Thursday, and I'm thinking about another recipe from Saveur, pasta with tomato sauce and eggplant (pasta alla norma). Skip the canned tomatoes and use local fresh ones right now, and our local eggplant is also handsome.
And that will get us through to Friday's next round of planning.
