With three hours to go, I managed to pull this week out.  We may have eaten at 8:30pm at night, but I did do it.  Today I wasn’t sure I’d get any cooking done.  Today we applied for Dan’s passport, almost ate lunch at IHOP, ate at Arby’s instead, introduced the Kid to the wonder that is the roast beef sandwitch, and Dan and I both had eye exams and picked out new glasses.  And then when we got home, we sat down to watch the documentary about MMOPRG players, which was very cool, but at that point, I wasn’t sure I’d get any cooking done.  It looked like it might be a Gamer Grub night.

But I’d had a plan and shopped while we were out, and the stuff I’d picked were actually pretty simple to make – nothing crazy.  These recipes came from my ‘alternate’ Alton Brown books:  Feasting on Asphalt, and Alton Brown’s Gear For Your Kitchen.  So this week didn’t use use the Grand Trio, but rather the supporting players.  And for the most part it was a success.
