Unclear sleep/wake cycles 10,000 miles round trip between SFO and Japan.
16,000 miles round trip between SFO and Israel.
Don't get me wrong. I'm extremely grateful for these travel opportunities, but it's a little tricky to return from Japan on a Wednesday night and leave for Israel three days later on a fine Saturday morning. It's done and it was amazing.
So what's cooking for the family this week? Easy stuff that can be made in a fog of jet lag, and with MAJOR help from the husband and teenagers. Here's what's cooking this week.

Peanut Butter + Beer + Miso = Onolicious! A Proper Sunday Family Meal
Grilled peanut butter-beer-miso chicken, macaroni salad, grilled vegetables. And rice. Neither Japanese nor Kosher. It will good to have a back-to-normal a family sit-down after all that traveling.
Meatless Monday
Pan-fried noodles. Yes, the husband has agreed that this can be meatless. Changing the world, one carnivore at a time.
Tuesday
Black-bean chicken stir fry with onions, zukes and mushrooms. Plus jasmine rice. Husband ROCKS at stir-fry.

Oh kalua pig, I've missed you. Wednesday
Crock pot kalua pig. With kids home for the summer, it's easy to start the pot before leaving for work and then let it work its magic.
Wow-It's Meatless Thursday Too!
Almost Alfredo Pasta. This recipe is awesome because it's so creamy without cream.
Friday
Leftovers roulette. Kalua pig and cabbage, black-bean chicken over noodles, or Alfredo with grilled veggies? Let the games begin.
Travel was great, but there's no place like home.
