Scrips:

- the justfile contains scrips for creating a `.rem` file for remind(1).
  (from there you can use the `rem2ics` utility to create a calendar file,
  or `rem2ps` to create a pdf.)

- `/bin/pdf.sh`
  will create a simple pdf menu via groff and tbl.

- `/bin/indredients.sh`
  will print a list of ingredients based on the week's menu
  so you can plan your shoping.

## YOU WILL NEED

- recutils
- groff

## GETTING STARTED

- add recipes and meals to db/recipes.rec
- plan your weekly menu in db/menu.rec
- `just menu` to create `.rem` and `.pdf` menus for the week
- `just shopping` to print a shopping list

## TODO

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

- [x] remove zx dep (i thought it would make dates easier in the beginning)
- [x] parameterize the date for which the week should be calculated.
- [x] quantity for recipe ingredient?
- [x] 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
