For the first time today, I am not planning out my post in my notebook and searching terms in my thesaurus… it’s going to be quick. Up to now, I have ever so often touched upon how I love cooking and menu planning and of course eating. When lockdown was initiated in March 2020 I realised that the days that are suddenly filled with all of the same things would need some form of celebration in the evenings, and so the plan was hatched to have a unique dinner every evening. Please do note that this was when I thought that lockdown would last a mere 21 days.
We are now on day 142 and I am pleased, and somewhat surprised, to announce that we have in fact had a unique meal every evening, even if it was only a different combination of things. I have logged each of these and thought that I would share my weekly menu’s with you, together with the links of where the recipes can be found.
I also have to warn you that the majority was prepared on the fire, because we are a family who enjoy unwinding outside at the end of the day. But many of these are recipes that can (and probably should) go into the oven, we just adapted them to be prepared outside.
Today, therefore, is the birthday of a new section on Tonotopics entitled Fireside (which I am not yet entirely in love with and may change). The plan is not yet clearcut, but I figured, I have done all this insane planning and cooking, I have made all the grocery lists, I have gained all the weight and drunk all the wine… I might as well preserve it here.
Please come to dinner… Here is the first menu.
