Well, sure. I grocery shop at roughly 10-day intervals and obviously
try to use the fresh stuff while it's still fresh, so that determines
the near-term meals. Oddly enough, I usually shop first, buying
whatever punches my buttons that week, *then* figure out what to do
with what I've bought. I really should try it the other way around
one of these days :-)
