Client not arrived and I feel a bit irritated! I had her written down for 10am. So done a few jobs, will now settle at pooter to sort meal plan for next week. I expect she'll arrive in a minute!
Good think there is lots from the freezer, I don't have much ££ in my food purse. Theoretically I can get some out of the other purse, but in practise this means that the Credit card will go on longer.... Want it paying off before we go off the 0% interest. The whole idea is to stick to the challenge and get debt free ASAP. Soooooo.....
Thurs: Chilli con carne if I can find it (Freezer… getting a bit chocka)
Fri: for us, supper at quiz. eggy bread for kids
Sat: Kids at ceilidh, fish (F) for us I think, veg.
Sun: Roast lamb (F), veg, potatoes. Not sure what is happening this day, so might get changed.
Mon: Jacket potatoes, toppings of choice tuna or beans and coleslaw
Tues: Bol, vegi or meat (F)
Wed: Soup (F) and Pudding
Thurs: DH out, so we can have Pasta and Tom Sauce (F), DD's fave
Friday: Burger (F), pork or vegi, plus trimmings. Need to experiment with bread rolls again.
Saturday: Quiche (F)
****************************************************************
Fri: Tortilla Beany Bake (Veg soc website) New recipe, was really good.
Sat: Lamb shanks, potato/swede/carrot mash. Enough left in the way of gravy and beans to be another meal… will add chorizo or something.
Sun: Bacon, egg and beans or Tuna pasta bake with corn.... maybe? The ONLY day that I haven’t stuck to it! Had Spanish Omelette with ham and veg in it. First time ever that I have made this. Can you believe that?
Mon: HM Pizza ( I had something else, but can’t remember what!) First hm tomato sauce to go on a pizza. Had made decision not to buy pasta sauce any more. The 4th pizza has been the basis for ds’s packed lunch, he was very pleased. Thanks to Pandora for the helpful hints. Par-baking the bases worked really well.
Tues: Lentil Vegi lasagne (Freezer)
Wed: Veg Curry and spicy rice... maybe...might have a go at onion bhajis. Didn’t, but tried HM naan instead. Made Apple braid also, a first!

I know i must remember but ive got the memory of a goldfish at the moment, i've put orange juice on my cereal twice this week
Seeing as i generally freeze either mince dishes, currys or casserole they can all go with rice/spuds/pasta. God knows what'll happen when i get a bigger freezer and can freeze puddings etc. And god help the poor baby when i batch cook his/her food! :rotfl:
