Brrrr. With these temperatures, I should be thinking about a big casserole hot from the oven or a warming chowder, but with Thanksgiving coming up so quickly, my primary motivations (in addition to what's on sale) are simplicity of cooking and avoidance of poultry. That said, tonight we'll take advantage of the handsome wild caught lobster tails at Whole Foods for $6 each to do creamy lobster pappardelle from Cooking Light. I haven't looked yet, but the lobster tails Whole Foods carries have always previously been from Maine, the best. Using yolkless noodles instead of egg-rich pappardelle can lessen the cholesterol whack of this dish.
Simplicity will reign for tomorrow and Sunday also, with tomorrow being some salmon hitting the grill pan, either the fresh (farmed) salmon fillets from Sprouts at $7.99 a pound, or the fresh (also farmed, but known responsibly and I've always heard it's the best) Norwegian salmon fillets from Whole Foods at $13.99 a pound. Lundberg's fancy rice blends make so much more of a festive side than plain old brown rice, and they are at a stock up price at Vitamin Cottage at $2.65 a one pound bag.
Simplicity continues for Sunday, as I'm intrigued by the Market Made beef bracciole Whole Foods has on sale for $6.99 a pound. Bracciole is basically an Italian concept, but these say that they are Korean sesame, so with my new-found interest in Korean food, I want to try them out. Heavens, am I already into Korean-Italian fusion? Sobas make a quick side, as do edamame.
Stay safe on this sad anniversary day in American history.
