Welcome to The Dinner Report

A recent book about blogging is called No One Cares What You Had for Lunch. If that is true, then this blog, No One Cares What You Had For Dinner, will have zero readers.

I'm an undisciplined and somewhat adventurous cook and decided to chronicle what we've been eating lately. I live with Mr. P and two cats. I'm fortunate that Mr. P and I have nearly identical tastes and diets. The cats have no interest in eating our food, though they always want to sniff it thoroughly.

Oh. We're vegetarians of the lacto-ovo variety. We eat fish but I've only cooked it a few times in my life. I've never cooked meat or chicken; someone I love a lot would have to be mighty sick before I started. Mr. P cooks sometimes and does a great job, but most of the cooking duties fall to me. In exchange, most of the washing-up activities fall to him.

We both work, so weeknight dinners can tend toward quick prep. We go out to eat about twice a week. I shop about once a week. And this summer, for the second time, we'll belong to a farm. Once a week, we'll get a box of whatever was ripe for the picking that morning. (And my shopping activities will fall off accordingly.)

Comments are always welcome. I'd be interested to know whether you've tried any of the ideas here, and if so, what variations worked or did not work.
