I didn’t leave the house for two days out of the three-day weekend. Awesome. But don’t think I was 100% lazy. I cleaned the bathroom and kitchen floors, read the Sunday paper, watched a couple dvds, did a big grocery shop, and dog-eared my June cooking magazines. <\/P>
\n

The weekend is when I try to creatively use the remaining produce from Wednesday’s delivery (note: I did not say box). <\/P>
\n

Saturday afternoon I poached some tuna with lemon slices and peppercorns -the best preparation for frozen tuna steaks from Trader Joe’s.  The quality of the frozen tuna isn’t quite high enough for searing (although I do it anyway – usually with a rub of lemon zest, garlic, parsley and rosemary). On Sunday I tossed the poached tuna with lemon juice, mustard, olive oil, chopped celery tomato and sweet pickles for a tuna salad. <\/P>

\n

Also on Sunday, I made tiny lemon cakes for Marisa<\/A> and Joe’s barbeque, from a recipe in Everyday Food. I use recipes from this Martha Stewart spin-off much more often than my other cooking magazines which I use more for technique and inspiration.<\/P>

Monday. A recipe for “liquid ohm” from Cooking Light called for ingredients I had in my house: A bag of frozen mango in the freezer, and organic carrots, oranges, and pears. And ginger and chamomile (Sleepy Time) tea.  <\/P>
\n

And it gave me an excuse to use my awesome red juicer that Fran bought for me at a yard sale.<\/P>
\n

\"\"<\/P>
\n

Fran’s negotiating skills were thwarted by the seller who immediately suggested a price of one dollar after Fran readied herself to talk her down to $5. <\/P>
\n

Here’s the very orange juice after a visit to the blender. <\/P>
\n

\n

It must sit in the refrigerator for many hours, then it’s strained to remove any pulpy bits. I had a glass this morning. Very tasty.<\/P>
\n

Monday’s dinner was roasted mustardy potatoes (Everyday Food) and sauteed broccoli with garlic. <\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
