It's just too beautiful a Boulder Sunday morning today to spend a bunch of time in front of the computer, so with apologies (heck, nobody pays me to do this anyway), this will be a quick list of what's on deck for dinner for the rest of the week.
For tomorrow, it will be seafood pasta, an excellent, simple recipe I picked up years ago from Herb's Quality Meats when they were located at Broadway and Baseline. I got a two pound bag of shrimp at Whole Foods' one-day sale back on Friday, so the remaining half will go into this dish. This gist of it is to saute shrimp or scallops in oil/butter with some garlic, add a half teaspoon of paprika and a bit of cayenne, then create a sauce by adding 1 1/2 cups milk shaken with a rounded tablespoon of flour. Mix in your cooked pasta, and it's a sublime weekday dinner.
Tuesday is a bit up in the air. It's a repeat of something big made over the weekend, which today is supposed to be potato with root vegetable chowder and bacon from Bon Appetit. But it's just too spring-like to be thinking about cooking root veggies today, so Tuesday might wind up being a reheat of something totally different.
Wednesday will also be a cheat, since I love the large pepperoni pizzas that Whole Foods will have on sale for $8.99 through Tuesday. For the side salad, Sprouts has organic leaf lettuce for just 99 cents a head, or $1.50 a head at Sunflower (romaine there for that price, too), both of those through Wednesday.
Thursday will be another quick one, using the very nice center-cut pork chops on sale at Sprouts through Wednesday ($2.99 a pound) to do a simple pork chop saute with a bit of garlic and white wine. Mashed sweet potatoes, or buttermilk mashed russets will make a fine side.
Which gets us very quickly through the weekday planning.
