Menu: Sept 14

Okay, so here's the menu for the coming week:

Texas brisket chili w/ cornbread
White corn chowder
Fried chicken w/ mashed potatoes
Tuscan pork tenderloin
Lamb and butter bean stew
Pasta and meat sauce w/ garlic bread

Last week the Moroccan meatballs turned out quite nicely. The curried chicken burgers were also a success. Japanese curry was so-so, but mostly because the roux was pretty bland. We'll try it again sometime. I've become a big fan of the pasta w/ white beans, it's really easy to make and very flavorful.
Hopefully this menu isn't too ambitious.

'round the world menu: Sept 1

Last week I realized that it was starting to look like we're eating the same meals over and over again, which I suppose we are, to a degree. So I've started scouring my favorite food websites for a bigger variety of food for the week. Here's what I've come up with:

Japanese Curry w/ rice
Caribbean style grilled chicken w/ Cuban black beans and rice
Beef and potato burritos
Izmir-Kofte w/ rice
Curried chicken burgers w/ mango chutney
and the old standby...
Cappellini Bolognese and garlic bread

Note: I've not done the grocery shopping yet due to a stomach illness, but I've got the list made up, and it will fall well within the $50 target range.
