I've been planning on making a big vegetable stir fry, so I lucked out today when I walked into the Acme and they were having a big fresh vegetable sale. Everything was a dollar! I bought broccoli, cauliflower, celery, coleslaw mix, spinach, carrots, mushrooms, garlic, scallions. I already have red pepper, green pepper, and a few other vegetables that will be good in this. Canned water chestnuts, for example. Also, I have a different kind of ginger that the RG says is more robust than most. I think I'll add cashews; yum.
I use a basic brown sauce for my stir fries, which means beef broth, oyster sauce, some soy, thickener.
The timing is great, as the RG flew to Germany yesterday. He was not enthusiastic about my stir fry, so now I'll just have it all to myself.
I have some cold pork, so I think I'll slice it and have it on the side with hoisin sauce. Toasted sesame seeds on top.
Hey, Galileo, if you're reading, have a great time in Vegas!

Corn on the cob
Acorn Squash
Possibly: broccoli, salad, potatoes - still discussing.
Some of you might note that this is exactly what I posted yesterday. Things happened and we ate soup.
I jinxed it by saying "We actually have a plan this early today," yesterday.
I am trying roasting the Acorn Squash whole. It is a large one. I did this camping many years ago with medium ones wrapped in foil and it worked as well as roasting anything does in the coals. It is supposed to be very easy to cut and clean the seeds out this way. We will see.
