Still Life with Menu

I have been stalled in my project of cooking my way through this cookbook. I decided to revise my rules. I will continue but am not going to make the breads or desserts. I found the bread-making too tedious for the results, plus I can buy delicious bread all over. The desserts were just OK. Maybe a vegetarian, health-conscious cookbook shouldn't even try more than a few desserts. So soon, with those revisions, on to Chinese Vegetable Soup.
