How quickly Friday rolls around. I'm planning get get our big weekend pot of something done tonight, making potato and yam soup with bacon and spinach, which Bon Appetit says is a quick one. Sprouts has bags of organic russets for a good sale price, and organic yams are just $1 a pound at Sunflower. But wait, maybe I should rearrange things so that the spinach can come from tomorrow's Farmer's Market. Then I'd also be right next to Alfalfa's, where they're smoking their own bacon in-house, mmmm.
Tomorrow is supposed to hit 80, so unless I switch things around, that spells barbeque, winds permitting. With top sirloin $3.99 a pound at Sprouts, it will be ginger-soy grilled steak from Bon Appetit. The recipe suggests stir-fried sesame asparagus as a side, and Whole Foods has asparagus for $1.99 a pound (other places should be discounting as well at this time of year).
For Sunday, I'm thinking about those fabulous Maryland crab cakes that are on sale for $10.99 a pound at Whole Foods. I just have to have them once again before the sale ends Tuesday, and they'd also be fitting for a Mother's Day meal. To go with them, the organic green beans that are $1.49 a pound at Alfalfa's are suggesting green bean succotash from Bon Appetit. We have a very long way to go before our local corn season, but ears of corn from elsewhere have made their appearance in our local stores recently, so with summer-like weekend temperatures, we can anticipate summer on the table, too.
And that will get us through the weekend.
