The last two weeks were a mish-mash of meals due to late-afternoon doctor appointments, head colds, vacation and general post-Hawaii ennui. However, I've got a whole new load of cookbooks, and one titled "The Asian Grandmothers Cookbook" sounds very promising. Even though we know our grandmothers, Asian or otherwise, never used cookbooks. Check out the Greenhouse for the starting points for this week's new recipes as well as an update on the ill-fated Lemonade Pie.
So here's what the week looks like:
Sunday--Crock Pot BBQ Sliders. Perfect for lunch leftovers for today.

Monday--Amici's Pizza. This is NY-style thin crust pizza. Our favorite is the Eggplant Pizza (aka "Boston"). Normally, this is a 'special' dinner--it is pricey for pizza ($25 for a large eggplant pizza). But today, the full 100% of the proceeds at Amici's Cupertino go the the Sharks Foundation, so this is a good reason to splurge.
Tuesday--Mahi with mango/onion relish and Thai corn cakes. The fish is an experiment based on a Halekulani recipe from the illustrious Chef Mavro. We shall see if it can be done in a household kitchen on a weekday. The Thai corn cakes just sound weirdly yummy--corn, buttermilk and Thai spices (cilantro, shallots and fish sauce).
Wednesday--Thai Omelets and PDQ Hot and Sour. I'm pretty sure I can lock down PDQ Hot and Sour Soup this week. Thai Omelets use green beans, tomatoes, a bit of ground pork and our favorite stinky spice--fish sauce.

Thursday--After subjecting the family to 2 days of experiments, we'll go back to tried and true chili. Maybe I'll even make SoCal Buddhist Cornbread.
Friday--Misoyaki Salmon and Yaki Musubi. I never ended up finding butterfish a couple of weeks ago, but I spied some nice Pacific salmon this week. This will be a fine substitute.
Have a great week. Eat well. Be well.
