It looks like a weekend filled with seafood, which is quick and easy, in addition to having all its healthy virtues. For tonight, Norwegian salmon will be on the plates, coming from Wednesday's one-day sale at Whole Foods (Whole Foods is the only place I know of that has seafood so fresh, it's still fresh a couple of days later). Baked potatoes from Sprouts' five pound bags of organic russets ($2.99 a bag) will go on the side.
We'll veer away from seafood tomorrow to do sausage and spinach soup from Cooking Light, using the deals at Sprouts, considering chicken sausage is $2.99 a pound and bulk organic spinach is just $3.99 a pound. Instead of ripping up my own lettuce, I could also get their bulk organic salad mix for the side salad, since that's also just $3.99 a pound.
We'll return to the seafood for Sunday, and with "colossal" sea scallops (previously frozen) a quite good $9.99 a pound, it will be grilled sea scallops with tomatoes and olive vinaigrette, an old favorite from Gourmet magazine. Today being the winter solstice, it's a good thing the grilling takes place on a grill pan.
Beef lovers, don't forget today's fabulous one-day sale on New York strip steaks at Whole Foods (see the post below for details). I'm not including them now because we'll be doing a big standing rib roast from there on Tuesday, but it's a fantastic deal. I might even freeze some, although I think freezing is a disservice to a fine steak.
All this planning of course assumes the Mayans got it wrong, and we'll still be cooking tomorrow. Happy solstice!
