Menu Plan Monday
Today is Sunday, the day after my daughter’s 2nd birthday party. Normally after any kind of Filipino party, you can expect to be eating leftovers for damn near a week — and that’s after you’ve bullied encouraged all your guests into taking home some leftovers multiple plates of food, foil wrapped and stashed in plastic bags for ease of carry.
Alas, the economy is so crappy that we didn’t actually order the metric f*ckton of food that Filipino party host etiquette requires that you do. (Have five guests? Make sure you have enough for fifteen!) I am ashamed to admit that I only had enough to feed our guests and send most home with leftovers, with only a day’s worth of leftovers for ourselves.
Guess that means I have to cook this week after all. Drat. Luckily, there is some meat in the freezer, mostly chicken in the form of wings and thighs but I guess I can be clever enough to try something different with those. Poking around in the fridge, I noticed that I have a container of gochujang (hot pepper paste) and ssasamjang (fermented bean paste).
After poking around online on various food blogs, I think I’ve got a few ideas on how to use this stuff up. MWAHAHAHA. It is fusion experiment week here at the Delishiono house!!
On the menu at our house for the next week…
