23 Aug meal planning Friday the 23rd of August
So my sleep has been all messed up last night. . .
I have to go to my NDIS client and COOK today, , what am I cooking? The plan is to do a SALAD that would be nice with a lasagne that my co-worker (thank goodness I have a co-worker!! It means I can have a day off on my BIRTHDA!!YY!!) is going to bring on Saturday.
I was thinking a fennel and orange salad would be nice with lasagne, , , but I made that relatively recently. . . and my thoughts are turning towards , , , chimichurri of some sort. . . maybe I could make a slaw with a chimichurri or pesto dressing. . . Intuitively, , , it feels like the lasagne is going to need a big KICK of greens (ie. enzymes, perhaps) to digest this HEAVY, comfort food.
Equipment needed
I think this means that I might take my food processor today. . . It reminds me of a cooking job that a support coordinator referred me to last week. .. It is the kind of business that I was dreaming up, but they use Thermomixes to cut down the cooking time and the clients do their own shopping. . . It is a potential opportunity for some extra six or so hours a week I suppose. . . If I am quick I could make around $50 an hour and if I am slow (which is likely with me, , , although SOOOO good not having to do the shopping, , ,hell it is a waste of time!) – I would make $35 an hour. . .
I didn’t really get inspired with their menu I have to say. I think that is where my service shines. I am starting to get the reputation of the person who cooks healthy food, , , (and not so much red meat). . .
Pesto or chimichurri slaw
How am I am going to do this? I think fennel WOULD be good (perhaps), , , I will shred cabbage certainly, , , what else? I don’t think that cucumber is in season, but if it was, it might be nice, shaved as well.
I am just going to want to keep things simple today. . . So. , . chimichurri ??? is that going to work with SLAW -?? what about the onion, , , it is not going to work. . . I think pesto, , ,parsley and coriander perhaps, , , because I will have both of those on hand, , , and walnuts, , , perhaps, , , may have to buy toms, , , ahah pinenuts, , ,
