Aug. 8—There is a meme for day by day of the week, is not there?
Meatless Monday. Taco Tuesday. Wine Wednesday. (Whereas these of us sufficiently old to recollect the well-known advert marketing campaign know that Wednesday is Prince Spaghetti Day, that pasta dinner can definitely be paired with a great Italian crimson, maybe, to accommodate each.)
Throwback Thursday, Fish Fry-day, Caturday, and Sunday Funday spherical out the record.
Whereas not all of those are food-related on first look, I believe we will make all of them match the theme of this web page.
Meatless Monday, after all, is a simple one. Any vegetarian or vegan dish will fulfill the requirement, from grilled cheese sandwiches to pita chips and greens with hummus, saag paneer to ratatouille, and rajas con crema (strips of roasted poblano peppers in cream) to groundnut/peanut stew. For dessert, keep away from lard in a pie crust.
Taco Tuesday can be ready-made. Decide flour or corn tortillas and fillings which can be conventional (al pastor, carnitas) or trendy/fusion (pondering outdoors the field or, extra accurately, the taco shell), then run wild with the hen or beef or pork or seafood or greens to create your meme-themed masterpieces. After all, it’s a must to observe this with Choco Taco ice cream treats.
On Wine Wednesdays, you’ll be able to drink wine along with your dinner. You’ll be able to cook dinner with wine, too: Add a splash to your spaghetti sauce, steam clams in white wine, make coq au vin, and so forth. And keep in mind that you could even be an overachiever, like me, by doing each. Simply make certain you cook dinner with a wine that is worthy of being sipped. If it isn’t adequate to drink, it isn’t adequate to eat.
Throwback Thursday strikes me as a day for serving old-fashioned meals: Grandma recipes that you simply keep in mind fondly from childhood, casseroles from Nineteen Sixties cookbooks (full with the requisite can of cream-of-something soup), and even only a dish you’re keen on however have not made for awhile. You do not have to essentially throw again throughout the a long time or centuries; just a few years would undoubtedly suffice.
Fry-day is clear: That is the day to gleefully have a good time onion rings, churros, and funnel muffins. Falafel is one other scrumptious choice, as are empanadas and fish ‘n’ chips. Your frying would not essentially must be deep-frying, although everyone knows that is extra enjoyable (to eat, no less than, if to not clear up after). Fried eggs would additionally meet the temporary. And, after all, something cooked in an air fryer is clearly additionally a fried meals.
Caturday … properly, this turns into food-related not by devising recipes for the undoubtedly tender meat of the typical lazy, spoiled housecat. This can be a day for catfish, I believe. And for dessert, benefit from the well-known French treats Langues de Chats: Cat Tongues, which you’ll acknowledge extra readily as Pepperidge Farm’s Milanos. A buttery cookie by every other identify, to paraphrase Shakespeare ….
And at last, Sunday Funday is the day to play along with your meals. Breakfast for dinner, and possibly stirring some colourful sprinkles into your pancake batter. Or how ’bout brunch? Is there something extra enjoyable than mimosas in the course of the day or over-the-top Bloody Marys laden with any- and every little thing: mini cheeseburgers, candied bacon, crab legs, jalapeño poppers, doughnuts, and different outrageousness?
There you will have it: A meme and a menu for day by day of the week.
