Tomato Tart--Good for winter tomatoes
Experiments 1 and 2 from last week went pretty well.
Tofu with Snap Peas and Mushrooms and Pretty Much My Mother-in-Law's Corn Chowder were both unanimously approved.
Greek Tuna Pasta Salad and the Tomato Tart also worked out pretty well, and I'll post those later this week.
And then...there was...paint. When I posted the mystery item to FB and Twitter, guesses ranged from:

Guava lime orange glaze. No. No. No.
Tomato bisque
Carrot ginger soup
Persimmon sauce
Red pepper-something
Campbell's tomato soup
Braised essence of tangerine goop
and my favorite, from my cousin (of course) paint!
It was supposed to be a citrus glaze for chicken, but nothing was even remotely workable--taste, smell, color. It got scrapped and I made a stir-fry style Sweet and Sour Chicken instead.

This week, I've manage to meatless twice again. And to give my poor family a break, just one experiment.
Meatless Monday
Simple Tomato Spaghetti Sauce. It was a very hard Monday, so I needed something simple and sustaining.
Fishy Tuesday
Fish Jun with kochojang dipping sauce. So much quicker and lighter than the traditional meat jun. Will also try to post this one too.
Wednesday
Chicken Marsala, an old favorite.
Experimental Thursday
Baked kabocha, stuffed with with Homemade Pork Sausage, cubed asiago cheese bread (from Safeway) and onions, an experiment from my boss. He made this for Thanksgiving and I've been meaning to try it.
Meatless Friday
Mom's Miso Soup with green onions and egg dropped in. Plus rice and kim chee. Again, simple sustenance for a long week.
This particularly difficult and hectic Monday that has given me pause to be extremely grateful for my ohana. Appreciate every minute with yours.
