The Feast of the Two Fishes
I’m not ambitious enough to try all seven; two is more my speed. And one came straight from a can.
The menu: baccala, stuffed artichokes, poor man’s pizza, pasta with primavera sauce, meatballs, antipasta with carrots, celery, olives, bread, anchovies, roasted peppers, and cheese. For dessert, fruit bowl and cookie tray. Apparently I can’t cook for four so we have been eating leftovers all week.
The schedule: (I forgot to include “soak the cod” and almost blew the baccala):
11:00 prep and soak artichokes
11:30 make pizza dough
11:45 cook cod (~30 min.)
11:50 stuff artichokes
12:15 cook artichokes (2.5 hours)
[Nate sprinkled his own yogurt for lunch]
12:30 make baccala
12:40 - 2:30 random tasks: cookie tray, fruit bowl, set table, make antipasta
[Nate made the cookie tray]
2:45 artichokes out of oven
2:50 sauce on, pasta water on
3:00 cook pizzas (20 min. each)
3:30 cook pasta
4:00 eat! (Okay, we really ate around 4:30, but I was close.)
[Van loved the pizza] 
[Nate gave the feast the thumbs up]
