We took our first trip up to "the city" (i.e. San Francisco) yesterday (more on that later). We had a blast. It really is a great place and I can't wait to explore it more.
Milton's is a restaurant/deli in Del Mar (San Diego area). They also have a baking company and they make my most favorite sandwich bread, Whole Grain Plus. It tastes great, is full of whole grains and fiber, and has NO high fructose corn syrup. I thought it was local to San Diego, but it's not - you can get it everywhere! I was so excited when I found it this week at my new Trader Joe's. Go get yourself some, you'll be happy.
I'm actually going to cook this week. For real.

Hey Jane...
No menu yet, but I couldn't help but notice your concern about the rhodes rolls. Since you're in the bay area now you really need to buy some good sourdough bread. Even the grocery stores carry some good ones. Anyhow, there's my little plug. It's the best and I'm sad that the best I can do for sourdough bread here in NC is the walmart bakery:(
Monday- pot luck.. bringing black bean salsa & chips
Tues- Beef stroganoff, fruit, veggies
Wed- Baked tortellini, dutch oven crusty bread, steamed veggies
Thurs- leftovers
Fri- eat out?
rynell - glad you're using some of the recipes - love that!
ashlee - so glad costco has it. that is GREAT.
maren - it's funny, when we moved to san diego I HATED cilantro...and now I really like it...I had to since it was in everything down there. I've never liked sourdough bread, but the first morning we were here we had sourdough french toast, which was actually really really good. I knew the bay area was famous for sourdough...so I think I need to get myself on board! I'll buy some this week to get the reprogramming started and think of you! :)
jessica - you're right, I'm SO EXCITED to be in this area. there's TOO much to explore here, it's crazy!
christie - what is dutch oven crusty bread? do you cook the bread in the dutch oven?
Jane...you seriously need to get on board with the sourdough bread. It's the best--hot & fresh with butter. Yummmmmmmmmmm..........

Oh my gosh! I just realized that Jessica is making the same thing I am making...1/2 hour Chicken Gumbo and Cornbread (from last month's "Everyday Food" magazine). Jessica, let me know what you think!
Diana- I just read your menu and think I might add some rice too. I'm only going to use half the chicken cause I need half for the next day, and a little less sausage to save some for another recipe. Hopefully it'll be delicious!
Congrats on getting settled into the groove!

Fri: Eat out or get some fresh fish
Sat: Depends on the weather - if we have sunshine then BBQ something (you never know in Seattle)
The crusty dutch oven bread is awesome-- and not much work.. you just have to plan ahead (it raises for like 18 hours). The recipe was from the
NY Times

I was really happy with how it turned out-- The only tricky part is that it is really sticky! Also mine did not need to bake as long as the recipe says.. so keep an eye on it if you try it.
awesome - thanks christie! funny mark bittman wrote the article...we were just talking about him the other day. good source!
I know I am supposed to post a menu...and I will again sometime. Until then, I just wanted to say we miss you! Enjoy your new place though.
Sunday: DID (Dinner in the driveway!) with shrimp salad tacos, carne asada tacos, watermelon, and salad (We had a couple of families over to eat.)
Monday: Lamb for husband and beef for myself and 4 yr old. I put an herb rub on the meat from Bethenny Frankel's website (bethennybakes.com). We also had baked potatoes and string beans with leftover salad from Sunday.
