The Weekday "Usual"


When we eat dinner at home, Tom always cooks. My cooking skills are very limited (I get excited when I properly fry an egg), and Tom enjoys it. He has roughly an hour to prepare dinner since I work out when I get home from work, and we eat when I'm done. (By the way, I do realize how absolutely lucky I am to have a husband that cooks!)

A typical weekday dinner consists of grains (lentils, couscous, quinoa, etc) with additions (usually veggies and a meat), and some kind of saucing. The meat additions are typically something that was a weekend project, like duck confit, lamb neck rilette, or bacon. Another common weekday dish is some sort of open-faced sandwich on bread that Tom has baked. (Did I mention he bakes too?)

Thursday night, we had one of these typical weekday dinners. He made Israeli couscous and lentils, which he topped with peas, mint, duck confit, duck cracklings, and a rhubarb/honey sauce.
