things I could prep ahead of time, especially from the condo

max 5 days ahead

• cook rice and store it in the refrigerator (or freezer)
• mirepoix
• cut veggies for a stir fry, and cook the sauce if you're not using a commercial one (similar to making my own stir-fry kit)
• DIY noodle cup

max a week ahead

• (expand?) a stir-fry sauce, or a marinade

any time ahead

• compote, stored in the freezer [▶2], [3] [4] [▶5] [6-add pectin]
• home-made sausage, possibly fresh and frozen (can be a good way to start a stir-fry)
