This week's meals/groceries

I thought it might be interesting to talk about what we bought at the farmer's market this week and what we plan to cook.

From The Piggery (in front of the Red Feet Wine Market):

• 4 oz deli ham
• 8 oz fresh kielbasa
• 8 oz bratwurst
• 2 (1 lb and change) rib chops

From the Ithaca Farmer's Market:

• 3 lb tomatoes
• 3 red bell peppers
• 1 large green pepper
• 4 ears of corn
• 2 jalapenos
• 2 large handfuls of green beans
• 3 lb onions
• 1 head of garlic
• 1 bunch of tat soi
• 8 oz spinach
• 4 oz shiitake mushrooms
• 1 bunch of cilantro

From Wegmans:

• Milk
• Eggs
• 1 can refried beans
• Bagels
• Cheerios
• 1 package of small corn tortillas
• Some kind of bread with sun-dried tomatoes that they had fresh and that we couldn't resist.

It's going to be tricky to fit the sausages into my calorie count, but I'll figure it out.

We will still need to buy some sort of Japanese noodle, plus some sort of fresh bread.

We are making:

• Sausage with spinach and homemade pasta (Judson)
• Pork chops, green beans, and creamless "creamed" corn (you use the corn starch from the corn and the ears as a thickener, a la Tom Colicchio) (Judson)
• Roasted red pepper and tomato soup with open-faced ham-and-egg sandwiches (me)
• Steak fajitas (using Ferdinand) with refried beans and homemade salsa (me)
• Stir-fried steak with rice or udon or soba (me)
• Some sort of mystery dish, probably involving mussels (Judson)

And that's about all I know for now!
