Minor cooking crisis

[wrenb]

So much for salad tonight. I was going to get salad greens at the Farmer's Market this morning. I didn't get out early enough, and there were no salad greens. I did get one bag of spinach, which I'm going to make into a matzah kugel so it goes far enough to feed 17 people. But the salad is bugging me a little. I'm supposed to take salad to seder tomorrow night too, so I was counting on yummy spring salad greens. It was the first outdoor market today -- it was packed! And my usual salad lady is a vendor who I can find at the indoor market, but not the outdoor. Frustrating.

Ah well. Off to gnaw on a lamb shank for brunch (I already had grapefruit and a rhubarb pastry) so we have a shank bone for dinner.

Would fruit salad do? The past week we've had some very good mangoes and strawberries. I've also seen cantaloupes and even watermelon in the market. If you add bananas, add them at the last minute.

The other alternative is to go to a grocery store for your greens.

LJ ate my Saturday afternoon reply. :(

It turned out that my housemate was heading to the grocery store, so I had him pick up greens. And then there was so much food that we didn't end up serving them! We had gefilte fish, matzah ball soup, chopped liver, roast chicken, a kugel, and roast potatoes followed by cake and strawberries.

I'd been meaning to get fruit. Would you rather I got greens for tonight?
