I’ve not been motivated to do much of anything — let alone meal planning, so it was good that there was a lot of takeout / delivery / bar food / parties to attend last week.
Still not particularly motivated, but the wild & crazy kids at casa lingua gotta eat, so here goes anyway:
While I’ve had stews and braises on my mind, the weather in Central Penna has other plans: high 70s till the sun goes down for the next few days, which for me screams grilled stuff.
So, at least for tonight that means a Greek meal: grilled swordfish steaks with ladolemono and choriatiki on the side,TJ’s gigantes & maybe dolmades, too.
Tomorrow I am finally getting that cortisone shot for my shoulder the sports doc briefly mentioned during my visit (yet never provided), so that should make for some easier movement overall. One possibility is spicy egg-fried rice with the leftover rice from Friday night’s pokah game, 2 of the last Lao sausages from the freezer, bok choy from the crisper & other veg TBD. Another is to go out with the generous gift card my gal pals gave me for my bday last week & celebrate our 26th smooch-a-versary. Ve shall see 
Tuesday I’m trying my hand at pork chile verde with some of the hatch chilies I froze. I’ve never made it before and will be seeking inspiration in this thread.
Wednesday we might try a hand-pulled noodle place that our favorite taco purveyor raved about when we had lunch at his joint Friday. The lamb skewers are also supposed to be amazing. Unless my ride to PGH for the Violent Femmes show materializes, whom I saw first and last in '92 (!). In that case, my boo is on his own 
Thursday I have a gig, which likely means leftover pork chile verde afterwards.
Fri/Sat/Sun entirely depends on whether we are renting out our house for the weekend. Given our beloved hand-egg team’s abysmal performance so far that seems less and less likely.
Happy eatings, my dear HOs, have a great week & stay sane.
