Menu for the week of 20 June 2010

Well, here I am - a week before the big move.
I bought stuff this weekend, mostly because I'm torn between trying to empty my fridge/freezer and trying to serve nutritious meals. A few articles I discovered recently should help me get rid of a few things (like 10 Ways to Clean out Condiments and 10 Quick and Easy Stir Fry Dinners). It also helps explain the number of times I'm serving crudites & dip this week.

The excess of baking is mostly to try and remove a few things from my pantry (but also because I got fresh rhubarb this week). The tart recipes are really just Mark Bittman's recipe for berry pie, served in pre-cooked tart shells. It's a quick way to make a delicious desert.
