last week was stretch-that-food week.
yesterday we ate soup and french fries.
today we went to the store.
tonight was new meal monday---tuesday edition.
This week's selection: Real Simple's Salmon with lemon-cilantro vinaigrette.
This week's verdict: good .... worth repeating ... nick didn't like the vinaigrette....i thought it had a delightful zing.
This week's well-maybe-next-time: couscous for one. couscous for two is still a TON.
