Racking my brains on this one -- we are finally getting out of our apartment for a week and headed to a rental house on Cape Cod for the week of my partner's birthday.
Given the pandemic, we aren't going to want to go out to eat a fancy birthday dinner, so I'm planning to cook something. But while I know I will have a kitchen and a gas grill in the rental house, I don't have a lot of confidence it'll be well equipped, and we'll have limited (but non-zero) space in the car for equipment. I will of course bring good knives and make sure I have a couple of good pans to work with.
Adding to the challenge: we'll be getting the majority of our groceries curbside from a mass market grocery. We will be picking up our CSA share for the week on our way down, and I'm very open to tracking down local produce -- but I have to pull this off on our second full day in residence, so fewer stops is better.
I should add that he hates shellfish, which is very inconvenient on the Cape! He's also not a big fan of steaks or other large, plain hunks of protein (although a dish that involved e.g. grilled beef as a component would be fine).
So yeah. The above combination has me mentally stuck. I have a million ideas for easy meals the rest of the week but not this fancy one. I know one of you has to have a brilliant idea to help me get past the block 🙃
