We did have power for the last 3 days!  Just got it back today.  Trying to clean up the house today.

Sunday: Thai takeout

Monday: Shrimp and leek sauté over pasta

Tuesday: Maple glazed salmon with hash browns and salad

Wednesday: Beef stew

Thursday: Beef stew

Friday: I'll probably just eat something quick because my in laws arrive that night- just a couple hours after I get home from work.  I'm making shrimp ceviche for an evening snack when they arrive.

Saturday and Sunday: we'll be taking day trips with my in laws, so eating out, but I will be making bigger breakfasts than normal- parmesan baked eggs one day and pancakes the other.

Why don't you like cilantro???  I would use it in everything if I could.  However, I've made this recipe without cilantro and it's still good: http://www.epicurean.com/featured/coconut-shrimp-ceviche-recipe.html

Cilantro has an extremely overpowering bitter flavor for me, and I can strongly taste even very small pieces. If cilantro is in a dish, then that is about all I can taste. It basically masks the other flavors of the dish. I avoid cilantro at all costs!

Is cilantro commonly found in most ceviche? Your recipe looks really good, and I will have to try to make that!

Care to share your Mac n cheese recipe? It is my favorite food of all time!

ETA: I'm so glad I'm not alone in the cilantro haters club

BlueBirdMB

Yes, cilantro is pretty common in ceviche is one of the most common herbs in several Latin styles of cooking and Indian cooking.  Eh I have an unnatural hatred of cod and haddock, so I get it.
