A week before the move, and mahi mahi tacos
We are moving in exactly one week.
I have at least ten cans in my pantry and a few odd ends in my freezer. What did I rouse up today from my freezer and pantry stock?
Mahi mahi tuna taco!
I had mahi mahi from trader joes sitting in my freezer. $10 worth of fish is too much to just toss out. So today I defrosted it, marinated it in soy sauce, olive oil, lime juice, and some garlic. For some reason ginger root was no where to be found.
While it was marinating, I took out the last bit of the diced frozen mango from my freezer, added a bit of diced red onion and added hot pepper flakes and lime juice for salsa. Man I wish I had cilantro plant. I think I'm going to grow a little pot in the new home, always handy.
I pan fried the mahi mahi. Then I composed some tacos with a bed of mixed greens, the fish, mango salsa and this relish salsa verde p got from a friend.
Voila. Dinner is served.

Mussels in WIne
What can you make with a bag of frozen mussels, a bottle of open rose wine, and half an onion?
Mussels in wine sauce of course!
From the freezer: mussels
From the fridge: butter, bottle of rose already open from yesterday, half an onion (from this morning's omelette)
From the pantry: spaghetti
I made a steaming liquid with wine, some mushroom broth from Friday, and some browned onions
I steamed the mussels in it.
I made a roux with butter and flour.

How to eat everything in your pantry before you move
I had a hankering for Clam chowder, as I sometimes do.
I knew I had potatoes and canned clams in my pantry so I was all set.
Then I came home and saw that the potatoes were actually rotting (gross) and I needed another filler for the soup.
Since I sometimes added corn to my clam chowder for color and sweetness, I thought why not just make the whole soup with it?
So now I have a corn and clam chowder, with some onion and celery for flavor depth and color.
I had to add some roux to thicken because now the soup didn't have potato starch in it.
But it was still yummy and clammy tasting.
