So what's with this heat today? Where's the cooling thunderstorm we were supposed to get? We nearly ditched our plans for pizza tonight, morphing the sausage into a cooler Italian saute of sausage, fennel, peppers, and tomatoes, but the pizza idea eventually won out. Besides, I want leftover pizza for later in the week, and leftover sausage saute just doesn't have the same cachet.
So moving on to tomorrow, and keeping with our theme of celebrating the arrival of local corn, we'll opt for shrimp and corn pilaf from Bon Appetit, using the shrimp on sale at Sunflower for $3.97/lb. Our corn will be fresh from Munson's farmstand. Don't know what you might find, but yesterday the display of California corn for 10 cents each at Sunflower had been decimated.
Continuing with the summer corn theme and looking for a pasta dish, we'll follow with linguine with summer succotash, also from Bon Appetit. That will give us at least one vegetarian dish for the week as well. The side salad will come from the most huge head of organic green leaf lettuce I've ever seen, which I just picked up at Whole Foods for only $1. Even the cashier commented on how big it was.
Then for an easy midweek reprise, we'll have all that sausage pizza waiting for the quickest of reheats. And another set of salads still won't make a dent in that head of lettuce.
Finally, I'll grab some organic steaks from Sprouts while their sale on organic beef goes on through Wednesday. Midweek isn't our usual grilling time, but they would do find cooked in a grill pan also, accompanied by baking potatoes zapped in the microwave, and, dare I suggest it, maybe more sweet corn. Can't get enough of the stuff.
And that does it for the week.
