Menu for Aug 6-12, 2018

Two new dishes for this week, Vietnamese flank steak and mujaddara. The mujaddara got pushed from last week because of a change in plans so I am looking forward to trying it this week. The Vietnamese flank steak is a recipe I saw in NYT Cooking. With lots of sweet, spicy, sour, umami flavors it should be fun for John to cook. I believe my task will be the pickled cucumber salad

Otherwise it is a week of favorites with John’s yummy grilled chicken starting out the week, shrimp tacos in the middle, and my favorite favorite, fried scallops finishing off the week. Oh, and I am promoting my lunchtime smashed chickpeas with juniper berries to dinner status on Wednesday!
