Mondays! There are so many things that can drive a person crazy on Mondays, but for me, it’s a lack of a meal plan. Or anything to cook at all, really. I’m pretty good at the throw-whatever-I-find into a pan/pot/baking dish kind of cooking, but first you have to have stuff to find.
I never seem to have that on Mondays, unless we have leftovers from a weekend dinner party. That’s pretty rare, though – my friends are big eaters!! I am also rarely in the mood for leftovers on Mondays. New week, new food.
This was one of those weekends when we ate out a lot and didn’t even think about shopping for food. Absolutely delicious, but now I am craving a home-cooked meal.
To make matters worse, I almost exclusively shop at Fresh Direct, so I have to place my order the day before. Their fresh food is so much better than any grocery store, not to mention I love shopping in a bathrobe! I get some things at little local markets, but my old butcher and seafood shops are gone. Our local farmer’s market day is Tuesday, no help there. Besides, it’s Monday, I don’t have time to go to a bunch of stores all over town!
Most likely, I will scour the refrigerator and pantry and find something suitable, but just once I would love to be able to cook something I’m really in the mood for. I bet I would have a much better week!
Happy Monday!!
About Me
About This Blog
Thanks to an amateur gourmet cook of a mother and a father who loves good restaurants, I've been an avid fan of great food (fancy or simple) for as long as I can remember. I started baking awhile ago, and even took some pastry courses at the New School, but have only starting cooking in the past few years. Nonetheless, I've had great success in the kitchen (everyone jumps at a dinner invitation to my house) and found that cooking is actually the biggest passion in my life! Since I can't stop thinking about food (and drink), I created this blog as an outlet for my thoughts and a chance to meet like-minded foodies.
