Poll time!

I was going to make Potato Pancakes for dinner tonight, with beets and with green beans on the side. But I had half a cauliflower, so I thought I'd make a little bit of soup to go with it.

Well, it made much more soup than I realized it'd make (and yes, it's yummy). I'll still make the beans and beets, but should I bother with the potato pancakes? It's not like I need them, but I wanted them!

[Poll #1560637]

Tomorrow is chickpeas, and okra, and carrots on the side (maaaaaybe on the carrots, I don't know). Friday is pasta with sausage, which I usually make Monday but didn't this week because I was too lazy and hot.

I think the question should be, why not? X3

Lack of storage containers.

[lady-angelina.livejournal.com]

Ahh, okay, I didn't know that.

Still... can you wrap them up in plastic wrap or tinfoil and put them in the refrigerator? That usually works as well in a pinch.

Vegetables, vegetables, and vegetables? You need some starch, or at least SOMETHING else.

A clear indication that you guys are not eating enough yogurt. On the plus side, you're apparently not drinking too much coffee either. I realize this doesn't help your storage-container problem.

Well, can you just go to the grocery store and buy a packet of cheapo plastic containers? Or if you've got a local Goodwill or St. Vincent de Paul store, you can probably find barely-used vintage Tupperware for less than the new throwaway stuff.

Aren't cauliflower and potatoes full of starch?

[tsukikage85.livejournal.com]

I didn't know cauliflower was. I was saying the potatoes (and flour? is there flour in potato pancakes?) would be that starch, and that's why she should make them.

You should totally make some. And send the leftovers my way! lol My kitchen is so barren atm. xP

But still, there should be some way to store the leftovers, I know I've come up with some silly things when I realize all my storage containers are storing things in the freezer and fridge. Or you could always get some cheap containers from the store, or ziplock bags. :3

The problem is we HAVE a lot of containers. SOMEwhere. I hate to buy more, though, because by my calculations I shouldn't be able to walk without tripping over bowls as it is, and yet... that isn't so, for some reason.

[conuly]

And kielbasa! I just didn't list the kielbasa.

[conuly]

No, I actually compromised by making only a very SMALL batch of pancakes, like, two for each of us... and none at all for folks who weren't there.

[conuly]

Cauliflower probably is. The soup would've been awesome if I'd made it with the purple kind, though.

[conuly]

Lack of plastic wrap and foil conspire to make that a non-option as well, plus lack of storage SPACE. (Well, technically my fridge has the space, but it smells of... something.)
