In spite of all my efforts to ground the family with home cooking, last week felt a little discombobulated. Traffic, lack of access to our regular spots and the general play-it-by-ear modus operandus… let’s just say that disruption was inevitable.
So… this week is a bit of a reset. We need some solid downtime to re-energize for the busy few months that we have ahead. The stretch to Summer is a long one and we will need to be better-oriented and patterned to make it there. On more of a food note, our bodies are ready for a break from all the citrus. Gonna exercise my preserving muscles this week to put some away for later (marmalade, juice) and hoping that inserting lots of salads into the week will help us make our way through our sizable stash of greens. There is kale everywhere!
