Here we are again. Time to make the endless, perpetual decision of what to have for dinner. Looking at the contents of the fridge and pantry, I feel like I am in an episode of some weird cooking show, where the rules are you must use what is in the kitchen. No running to the store. And of course, nothing seems to go together. There at LEAST seems a chance to MERGE the flavor of BERRY with something PERKY like lemon. But is that the main course or dessert? And it would be good to have some green, though the possibilities in the fridge look vague and kind of FERNY. People can get a little NERVY when you try to serve them faded and unidentifiable greens. And the situation is not helped by my being a little NERDY with the details of cooking. Truly, the more bare the cupboard, the weirder my decisions can get. Maybe we should just order out.
