It has cooled down significantly over the past couple of days and I think the trend will continue for the greater part of next week. Cooler weather at this time of year [in South Central Texas] is rare so I’ve been gazing out the window in the morning and daydreaming about San Francisco. Sigh. Once the heat really does kick in, it will be nearly unbearable to bake and roast, so I shall spend the greater part of the week baking breads (quick and yeasted) and letting the oven do its lovely magic on whatever vegetables I can get my hands on.
I’ve decided to let go of the rigid allocation of what to cook on what day. I ended up shifting things around last week and even though I cooked every day (yay!) I found myself disappointed if I didn’t make it happen on the day that I had planned it for. I’ve also decided to more properly plan for the “snackage” that happens throughout the day.
