My neighbor kindly shared a *huge* box of home-grown lemons. So the game of the week is to use them in as many different ways as we can. Here's what's cooking.
Monday--"Fixed" lemon chicken, broccoli, home-grown lettuce salad, and rice
Tuesday--Ex-pat poke (nice tuna again!), oven-baked purple Okinawan sweet potato fries (an experiment inspired by the Bon Chon sweet potato fries), Nakayoshi Gakko Somen Salad. A lemon-free day.
Wednesday--Lemony Bacon Farfalle. Double the recipe to use lots of lemons, plus enough for lunches.
Thursday--New recipe. Mahi-mahi in a Mediterranean-ish red sauce using tomatoes and, wait for it, lemon.
Friday--Leftovers' Buffet. Cut up the leftover lemon chicken and toss it over the remaining farfalle. Eat the rest of the fish with brocooli and the sweet potato fries. I guarantee there will be no leftover poke. Add some more lettuce and cukes to the somen salad and to finish.
Lemony extras this week: More Strawberry muffins, Lemon Bars, Hummus, Guacamole (usually a lime, but when you've got a crateful of lemons...) and maybe some Baba Ghanouj as an experiment.
Life gives you lemons so you can Eat Well. Be Well. And send any lemon recipes my way.
