Like clockwork, two meals were not made last week. The Korean Hamburgers were replaced by the Spicy Garlic Lime Chicken that I didn’t make the day before. Instead of having Catherine Ann’s Enticing Tuna Salad – the Longmeadow Farm on Saturday, I had the Wanchai Ferry frozen meal. To my defense, I did that to make some room in the freezer.
Let me tell you about the Baked Teriyaki Chicken that I made on Monday. It was divine. I remember doubting that it would become a keeper, but I am sold. I loved it so much that I’m tempted to make it again this week. The only thing I regret was not thinking ahead and lining the baking dish with aluminium foil. (Wait. Is that the British spelling?) In any case, cleaning that glass dish was a huge pain and I’m not making that mistake again.
The Baja Black Beans, Corn and Rice was great as always, even when using pinto beans instead of black beans. I have a 25 pound bag to go through so you bet I’ll be substituting every chance I get. I also somehow blindly grabbed the container of basil instead of cilantro and that gave it a slightly different flavor.
I’ll be ridiculously busy this week, so I’m making it extra easy for me.

I love to keep quick meals in the freezer for just that reason – they’re fast and easy for those days that just don’t work right! They do take up a lot of space in the freezer, don’t they?
I’d love to be able to do that, but I don’t know how I’d fit anything else in there right now. My parents have an upright freezer in the basement and I’m dreaming of having one someday. Unfortunately the only place I have to put one here would be the garage and I heard that’s a big no-no.
Yeah, I’ve heard the same thing about keeping the freezer in the garage – I think it has to work harder to maintain a constant temperature.
When I had my first apartment, I actually had a small freezer – in the dining room!
