I have too many things I want to cook for days in the week. My solution is to go to the nice grocery store right around the corner and see what they have that's fresh. If the trout came in today, that's a good opportunity for sauteed or baked trout filets. If on the other hand the butcher is in the process of cutting up lamb chops, then a nice row of rib chops will bake up well in the oven with Paul Prudhomme's cajun seasoning and garlic rubbed all over it. Good home-made chili is not to be despised either. And so forth . . .
