I had people over at my house this weekend, so now I have a weird set of food to figure out.
Produce
collard greens (possibly getting too old)
4 apples
potatoes
1 pomegranate
jalepeno peppers
lemons
1 aging lime
grape tomatoes
4 winter Roma tomatoes
innards of a roasted acorn squash
dairy
whole milk
tzatziki sauce
onion dip
sour cream (unopened, so that’ll keep)
scallion cream cheese
1/2 a round of goat cheese brie
meat
2 packages chicken breasts
chicken/duck stock
2 dozen eggs (they were cute little pullet eggs)
bread
homemade pita chips of awesome
leftover potato chips
peppermint oreos
crackers
miscellaneous
hummus
eggplant dip of awesome
tasty herbed mayonnaise
half an opened can of tahini
2 containers of indian stuff I can’t identify
Can I turn this stuff into food?
– So the eggplant dip – there’s a lot pint of it. It was a whole eggplant, roasted, and then pureed with spices. I don’t think I want to eat it as dip. So I have some cubes of roasted lamb in the freezer. And I was thinking egg noodles with that… but now I’m thinking mashed potatoes and shepherd’s pie. Possibly there should be mushrooms in that dish.
– Chicken breasts. With pomegranate? And lemon? If I roast chicken breasts with pomegranate in my white casserole dishes, will they stain? Is there anything else from this list that can go in that dish? Yes to a jalepeno pepper. No to tomatoes. Maybes to the apples, the acorn squash, and the collard greens.
– Hummus and/or tahini. Given that I will not be frying up falafel, what else is hummus good for? Right – pita chips.
– apples and goat cheese… salad?
– pesto risotto (using the stock!) with roasted grape tomatoes. I’d need to buy parmesan cheese.
– chicken raft
