The weekly menu is a little late due to a cross-country flights from New England. It takes nearly 10 hours of total time to get from Providence, RI to the SF Bay Area. If you were to continue back to Hawaii, it would take another 5 1/2 hour flight. I can't believe this is what I did to go to school.
With that, here is what's cooking this hot summer week. Taking advantage of homegrown cukes and lemons.

Dimsum & Diet Coke. First Course.
Monday
Takeout Chinese. Although I did manage to get my son to soccer practice, I spent most of the day trying not to fall asleep at inopportune times. Hence, the Diet Coke/Dimsum appetizer. Thankfully, my totally awesome husband brought back my favorite Chinese food for dinner.
Tuesday
Zaru soba topped with green onions and perhaps kamaboko. Plus the rest of the Chinese food.
Wednesday
Romescu Chicken. Thinking this will be made as a salad or open-face sandwich with lettuce and cukes.
Thursday
Whole wheat pasta and tofu with coconut curry sauce, a riff on Cooking Light's Beef Soba Noodles. The original recipe got only bell curve reviews, but has a lot of potential with the ingredients--coconut milk, lime, honey, curry powder...in other words, the perfect baseline to tinker with.
Friday
Yaki Musubi, My Own Namasu and Furikake Salmon. My sister made furikake salmon for my Hawaii ohana last week, and now I'm craving it.

Extras
To use the lemons and cukes and to keep the teenagers in check
Summer Water, gobs of it as a thirst-quencher.
Lovely Lemon Curd, because it plays well with so summer berries and stone fruit
Fresh cut watermelon
Spinach dip for crackers, carrots and cukes
Another batch of Kale Chips, trying a sesame oil/furikake version.
Eat Well. Be Well.
