2013 weekly menu: week 45

bobby and i had lunch at gatten sushi last week.  we came here because we heard the sushi is served on a conveyer belt.  sounds like fun.  the suhsi comes around to your table and you grab what you want.  the prices are determined by the color of the plates.  cool concept, ok sushi.

starting the week off with some energy and motivation.  maybe it comes from the extra hour of sleep we all got on saturday night.  or maybe that i'm getting excited about the holidays. or maybe it's the fact that it feels like a new beginning in so many ways.

regardless of the why, i'm going with it, starting with dinners this week.  challenging myself to try a few new things and getting myself organized in the kitchen. let's see how long this lasts.

weekend eats:
saturday:  family birthday dinner
sunday: mexican food

making this week:
monday: seared ahi tuna salad - i'm going to try and recreate the salad from yard house.
tuesday: blue cheese chicken burgers
wednesday: lemon pepper pasta with shrimp
thursday: pork tenderloin with apricot glaze, potatoes and salad
friday:  water polo tournament - eat out

hoping this week lives up to its potential.
