meal planning

Planning out some dishes that are slightly better than my usual Caesar salad/cheeseburger curry. The goal is to consistently make these dishes for every meal, regardless of zone.

DESSERT: chocolate cake (9 honey, 8 cacao, 7 milk)

• #1: Kaiser the Venusaur (mono honey)
• #2: Cadbury the Blastoise (milk/choco/(choco))
• supplemental ingredients from Pancake the Pawmot (choco/milk) and Poptart the Espeon (mono milk). not clear if we’ll have enough milk when not using Poptart. IF NEEDED: swap in Coconut the Blastoise (milk/milk/(sausage))

CURRY: potato chowder (10 milk, 8 potatoes, 4 mushrooms)

• #1: Oatmeal the Golem (bean/potato/(mushroom))
• #2: Plum the Gengar (herb/mushroom/(herb))
• supplemental milk from Pancake and Poptart. IF NEEDED: swap in Coconut

SALAD: caprese salad (12 milk, 6 tomatoes, 5 oil)

• #1: Vinaigrette the Victreebel (tomato/tomato/(leek))
• #2: Cobbler the Toxicroak (oil/sausage/(sausage))
• supplemental milk from Pancake and Poptart. WHEN NEEDED: swap in Coconut

Miscellaneous notes:

I was excited about Coconut approaching level 60 (he’s currently 54), only to spec out of sausage entirely…oh well. It still might come in handy someday. Also, we gave all the Squirtle candy to Cadbury, so no one’s getting to 60 in a hurry.

Mushroom dishes are somewhat less than viable as-is, and they’re going to be less viable when Plum hits 60. Neroli’s restorative tea (15 apples, 11 ginger, 9 mushrooms) might still be doable. (This is a Power Plant-only dish, since I run dual Raichus.) Mushroom salad (17 mushrooms, 8 tomatoes, 8 oil) won’t be.

Things to look forward to when ingredient mons hit 60:

• ginger salad (17 herb, 10 ginger, 8 tomatoes): Plum for herbs
• leek curry (14 leek, 10 ginger, 8 herb): Vinaigrette for leeks AND Plum for herbs

Both of these require ginger, which is trivial in Power Plant (dual Raichus) and can be covered by Tandoori the Charizard (sausage/ginger/(ginger)) in other zones.
