This week's plan is very much subject to change- the meals will stay the same but the days may be shuffled around a bit. One day I plan to make chicken laksa, which needs beansprouts. I always like to use beansprouts on the day I buy then - but I've not decided yet which day I'm going shopping. At the moment I'm revelling in the fact that it's the first end-of-month in almost 9 years that I've not had deadlines to meet and magazines to print and mail, so I'm enjoying having
no routine at all and that extends to my shopping! Another day I'm making pizza but we have some of Mark's purple tomatoes earmarked for the topping and they are still a few days from being perfectly ripe, so the pizza may have to be held over until the weekend.
But here's the provisional menu:
Monday - thatched-cottage pie with runner beans
Tuesday - cauliflower and leek cheese with jacket potatoes and baked tomatoes
Wednesday - chicken laksa
Thursday - home made pizza with purple tomato topping
Friday - roast lamb with parsnips, cabbage and runner beans
Saturday - steak and chips
Sunday - Mark might be cooking, but if it's me, we'll have black bean chilli with brown and red rice. And of course runner beans!

Sounds like a great week, I'm the same - I plan things for certain days but it can get jigged around depending on how the day has gone! x

ReplyDeleteOhh Roast Lamb....Not had that in ages....I tend not to cook it as there is only me in the house which likes it!
Everything sounds delicious x
Tuesday's meal really appeals to me.
