Grocery Embargo - Day 4

Dinner (taste factor 10 of 10):

Herbed Flatbread with Mushroom Tapenade
Breaded Orange Roughy with lemon wedges
Sauteed Asparagus, Squash, and Red Bell Pepper
Roasted Sweet Potato and Onion topped with toasted almonds

Sounds good and it was. Behind the scenes info: The frozen orange roughy was from Costco (our membership expired over a year ago) the flatbread was made from pizza crust mix that I bought in Louisville, brushed with an herb egg wash made from egg replacer I bought in Chico.

The egg replacer has actually proven to be quite a boon; Jon made a delicious banana-blueberry bread with it and you would never know it didn't actually contain eggs. We are considering a one-time deviation from the embargo to purchase powdered milk and dry yeast. Is it a slippery-slope?

Saw an article about a guest who was putting away dinner leftovers in the host's freezer in Belgium and found the host's family inside. Wm said "see where cleaning out the freezer can get you."

We have decided that even though we are coming back to the same house, eventually, we need to clean out older food products also.
