That odd "cleaning out the fridge before a trip" meal

I think I've mentioned before that I have this reflexive drive, when going out of town, to get the perishables in the fridge down to a minimum -- even if I'm only going off for a long weekend. (For some reason, long-weekend SCA events don't create the same impulse. It's something about flying places.) In addition, I needed to Do Things with the weekly produce box, since it tends to be more perishable than grocery store produce. (This is, of course, one of the attractions -- it's delivered ripe.) I'd already skimmed off the peaches and grapes for lunch today and tomorrow. So the two melons were cut into chunks, packed into lunch containers, and frozen. I had the green beans tonight (steamed and sprinkled with ground sesame seeds). Tomatoes got shared out into tomorrow's lunch, plain sliced-with-salt for the ripest two, and the rest combined with the onion, a couple of the peppers (the rest will keep), some garlic, and the rapidly-wilting remainder of last week's basil for some stir fry accompanied by a couple pieces of rex sole. Other than that, there was yet another head of garlic (which goes into the rotating garlic stash at this point).

In theory, I have time for dinner before heading off to the airport tomorrow evening, but since I'm taking public transit (because I like to, as long as I have the time and it's a convenient flight time) I know that I'll end up wanting to set out earlier rather than later and it makes more sense just to plan on eating at the airport. (There are actually some nice places to eat at SFO, as long as you aren't worrying about running late for a flight.)

So the only other to-do item for tonight is "pack". (The last item -- get haircut -- is scheduled for right after work tomorrow. It's my back-up excuse for leaving work promptly.)
