After being sick last weekend, I had my wisdom teeth out on Friday. So far, things have been okay - a little soreness, but not too much swelling. The worst part is that I am so hungry for real food. I didn't want to eat much of anything after being sick, and now I am hungry for delicious foods that I can't eat yet!
We have been getting some great corn, and I have made guacamole with roasted corn twice lately. I REALLY want to make this corn and wild rice dish from PW and I am craving squash gratin like this one from Deep South Dish or this creamed squash. I also really want to make stuffed peppers.
Soon, my friends, soon, I will get to eat all of the delicious spring produce I have been craving. In the mean time, another week of mostly boring food...
Sunday: Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes and Artichokes (from the Cushman's garden)
Monday: Pasta with Cream Sauce and Broccoli
Tuesday: Scalloped Potatoes with Ham, Lima Beans, and Biscuits
Wednesday: Macaroni and Cheese
Thursday: Tillapia Fillets and Crash Potatoes
Friday: Date Night! Darren's Pick!

Update: What's Going On With the Two Chemists?
These last few weeks have been very busy for us. We traveled to Saint Louis for my brother's wedding two weeks ago.
Then last weekend, I was sick, and Darren had to take care of me - clear liquids and a bland food diet for several days after that, so no exciting new food posts.
Today, I got my wisdom teeth removed, so I'll be on a restricted diet for a week or two. Probably no exciting food posts this week either, unless Darren is up to making some exciting foods to eat alone.
On the up side, the school year is winding down, and I hope to get back to some of my small-batch work this summer. The weather here is already really warm, and we are both looking forward to getting outside to grill. I have been working on some recipes for grilled chicken with Caribbean jerk seasonings and Indian tandoori seasonings. We got a set of firewires that we need to try out. There are beautiful ears of corn and summer squash and other produce that I can't wait to cook.
Here's to a (hopefully) speedy recovery and delicious meals coming soon!
