Looking at the food below, you wouldn't think that we actually plan what we will eat /stock the fridge/cook during the week, because they go together Not At All. But we do, and often take a weekend day/night to cook at batch of this, that, and the wayyyy other to eat all week long. So it makes a lot more sense in the context of not having to eat these things all at once. Which would be gross.
Some of this food I made, some I got to eat, and some I just looked at and wrinkled my nose. Guess which is which!
Salt and pepper shrimp. Apparently, a Chinese dish, though I really wouldn't know.
My dinner, plated. Those are some mashed 'taters rescued from some gnarly potato eye growth in the cupboard. Not pictured, and not making it to the plate, was a pan of roasted cauliflower that was eaten as soon as it came out of the oven. Greedy cooks!
So how's that for spanning the globe in one night!

I never thought something "quintessentially American" would have the word "London" in it's name... but a) I've never had London broil (therefore can't imagine how it could be a mainstay of anything) and b) I recognize the same is true for French fries. Yummy, yummy French fries.
Eh, good point. I think the "quintessentially American" came out of the meat-n-potatoes-ness of the meal. Even if the cauliflower had made it to dinner, it wouldn't have added anything to the colors of the plate.
Oh, and the cooking/eating of the hunk of meat as a hunk of meat, rather than using it in pieces in a larger dish.
