last week and the beginning of this

Last week, I was in a class and got progressively more exhausted as the week progressed. Somewhere, in the beginning of the week, there were fresh rolls one night, served on the side to accompany -- I can't even remember what -- and a fairly elaborate side of sauteed vegetables another (zucchini and corn from the farm, onion, edamame, and tree ears). By the end of the week, Mr. P had taken over and made nachos, which weren't bad -- blue chips with brown rice, black beans, salsa, a little feta, and some grated cheddar cheese.

Last night, Mr. P made hot and sour soup, which was yummy. We don't often get it when we go out because it's usually made with chicken stock. Mr. P's version is entirely vegetarian and has a lot of textures and tastes.

Tonight's dinner was fairly simple -- brocolli, ginger, garlic, mushrooms, and scallions steamed and tossed with tahini and umeboshi plum paste, then served over whole wheat spaghetti with a side salad (lettuce, red pepper, cucumber, carrots, radish, scallion, raw mushrooms).

I have some ideas for this week's dinners, though tomorrow I'm being treated to dinner, so the kitchen will be closed, at least as far as I'm concerned.
