I was transported back to 1987 today, except I was the same age as I am today and in awe of Richard Dean Anderson<\/a>, who had just saved the day and pulled a classic MacGyver <\/a>by getting the car started using nothing but the power adapter wiring from the tape deck, some discarded plastic, a twist-tie and a screwdriver, just in time for us to escape from the antagonist’s carefully laid trap. Then I snapped out of it and realized that it wasn’t 1987. It was 2009, and Richard Dean Anderson was really my husband starting the car in a parking lot in Duluth, then again at Gooseberry Falls and yet again at Betty’s Pies with nothing but power adapter wiring, some discarded plastic, a twist-tie and a screwdriver.

It’s been a full weekend, to be followed by a full week and yet another full weekend. I’ll be happy when we’re on the other side of it. Between fixing the car so it doesn’t require the aforementioned starting mechanism, a photo shoot with the newest Olmanson (who arrived last night \u2013 congratulations, Charles and Donnell!), work and book fair commitments, I can guarantee it’s going to have to be an organized one. <\/p>\n


Monday \u2013 <\/strong>Empty-the-fridge vegetarian rice bake with artichokes, spinach and whatever else I can find
\n
Tuesday \u2013 <\/strong>Sweet and sour chicken<\/a>, Ahi tuna potstickers, ginger garlic green beans <\/a>(holdover from last week when we ended up at Gasthof<\/a>‘s to bid farewell to my baby brother as he leaves for Australia.)
\n
Wednesday \u2013 <\/strong>Chicken Kiev<\/a>, browned butter pasta, spring mix salads
\n
Thursday \u2013 <\/strong>Blackened Cajun salmon<\/a>, dirty rice, broccoli
\n
Friday \u2013 <\/strong>Juicy Lucys<\/a>, homemade green bean fries, (We’re testing a new recipe for Juicy Lucys that we may just enter in local competition if all goes well.)\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Recipes to look for here at Food for My Family<\/a> this week: Turkey Milanese<\/a> and Ahi tuna potstickers and my first giveaway<\/a>!<\/p>\n
