The home menu

This is the beginning of a basic home menu to help me streamline my cooking and work on practicing a few dishes that i'd like to serve people. Comments will contain notes for how to make the process more efficient. all recipes are made entirely from scratch except for a few small exceptions. (perhaps this will change to be all from scratch). The only thing i won't do is grow all the food - though some of it is grown by me.
