Now that I've had my colonoscopy and finished altering my diet in the ways that required (temporary low fiber, etc.) it's time to use up the random stuff taking up space in my fridge and the things that will go bad soon. Here is what needs to go: some leftover pizza from last night, about a cup of leftover mac 'n cheese, one Beyond Meat veggie dog, several hotdog buns, a loaf of sliced sourdough, 6 eggs, a couple tablespoons of vegan basil pesto, about 4 oz of cream cheese, a package of Tofurky chik'n strips, 1.5 cups sliced red bell pepper, the better part of a head of roasted garlic, and 2 cups sliced cucumbers.
Tonight will be a night of leftovers. Sim and I will eat leftover pizza and make salads from some of the baby lettuce and cucumber slices in the fridge. Sameer will probably eat that last veggie dog and one of the hotdog buns. Maybe that last cup of mac 'n cheese. Tomorrow night I can turn the chik'n strips, red bell pepper slices, pesto, the roasted garlic, and the cream cheese into a pasta primavera dish. I'll use some of the Parmesan in the fridge and some farfalle from the pantry. I'll also throw a bag of frozen broccoli, some frozen peas, and an onion in there. We may or may not use up some hotdog buns or sourdough bread in the form of homemade garlic bread. There will probably also be a salad of baby lettuce and cucumber slices and maybe some of my leftover broccoli sprouts. I've been growing broccoli sprouts every week for awhile now and didn't use up last week's yet on account of how my diet had to change. Tomorrow should use up my most urgent ingredients.
Tuesday I could make jalapeno popper melts (I'll have to set aside the right amount of red bell pepper in advance) and use up some bread on that. That would even finish off my tofu.
After that I'll know when I need to go grocery shopping. It'll probably be Wednesday.
