weekly menu 10-5-26

Happy Monday, TKW Family! I hope you had a fantastic week last week! Ummmm, it’s October?! No…it’s seriously October. Wasn’t it just like May last weekend? I was chatting with my friend the other day, and we started talking about pools, and in our next house, I really don’t want one, even if we stay in Arizona.

Crazy, I know, but y’all, I didn’t go in our pool once this year. It wasn’t for lack of trying, but it’s like something else more important always took priority over relaxing poolside. Plus, guys, it’s so crazy expensive to run a pool here. Electricity is outrageously expensive in Arizona, and there are “peak hours” where electricity is 3x as much as off-peak. I’d rather spend that money on another pizza oven or the built-in plancha grill I’ve been eyeing.

What Chef Lori is Up To This Week

  • MORE TRAVEL: I have some more client trips coming up – Alabama, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Normally I stay put in Q4, since that’s my busy season, but when work calls, you go.
  • SOUPS: Now that we’re finally out of the 100F’s temps, I can shift focus to comforting dishes. Now don’t get me wrong; I eat soup year-round, but there’s something more cozy about curling up on the couch with a bowl of soup and some crusty bread.

Did you make a recipe? Leave a blog comment!

So why do I ask this? Two reasons:

  1. Honest feedback is appreciated. It helps me learn and grow.
  2. Most folks read the comments before deciding whether to make a recipe.

This is how I grow and become a better Chef. I truly appreciate honest feedback on the recipes you’ve made by following the instructions as written! The most critical thing you can do for me is comment on the blog recipe post. 

When I look at someone else’s recipe, I read the comments, and that’s honest feedback to me. So when you make one of my recipes, or plan to, leave a comment on the post. Everyone else who goes to my site, I would genuinely appreciate it!
