TODO

This might eventually become part of the backend for supervegan.neocities.org

• remove zx dep (i thought it would make dates easier in the beginning)
• parameterize the date for which the week should be calculated.
• quantity for recipe ingredient?
• yield for recipe?
• link recipes? e.g., Egg Replacement in Black Bean Patties
• total quantities per ingredient in ingredient list
• review/confirm shopping list
• add 'snack' meal? e.g. elevenses, tea
