What's for dinner?
You gave your word. Yet instead of attacking your to-do list today -- riffling through your recipe box, planning a menu, making three shopping lists, and whipping up some fabulous make-ahead dessert -- you got caught up in something else. Now you're really short on time. You've been chained to your desk so long you don't even know what's in season, produce-wise. You know what's at home, though, and it's not much more than some aging parsnips. Now what? Not to worry. Maybe it's a little late to grow any herbs you'll need in your own kitchen garden, or to join a mailing list for easy gourmet recipes. But you can still accomplish a lot in what time you've got. The Net offers full-service food sites, fancy menus, and recipes -- many, many recipes -- along with recipe finders to help you locate just the right one in a hurry. (In no time, you could wind up with a great selection of parsnip concoctions.) Some sites allow you to choose recipes' levels of difficulty, dietary requirements, and preparation times. You might also decide whether the food will be healthful or decadent, or you could request that a meal not contain a certain hated (or allergenic) ingredient. As you check off what you like on proffered menus, you could actually be generating a shopping list. You'll find sites to help you determine what you're likely to find at your local produce mart, too -- before you get your heart set on green pears. And maybe, just maybe, you can do your grocery shopping online. So relax. Have fun. And once you've got that last dish -- parsnip pudding is it? -- on the stove, give me a call. I'll bring the wine.
