Weezl and friends Phase 2 -giving it a whirl for Shirl! Testing meal plan for a month
Comments
-
ok just reflecting on the work involved in some of the things we discussed last night, here are my best guesses as to amount of working time they would take. Just so's we only move forward with the things which are definitely a priority in helping shirley:
putting cals, fat, iron and calcium onto every recipe: approx 45 working hrs
Shirley month 2: 110 working hours assuming I bought nutmeg software and everyone was happy to do the same work as before (ie if lesley did nutrition, Juliette did cook/prep times and you all tested recipes) this also assumes that shirl month 2 doesn't have to be vastly different from month 1 in respect of key recipe ingredients.
Can I just make sure these are definitely going to add value for shirl/kitty.
I don't mean this to sound at all negative about doing it, I'm up for it, just need to make sure it's the right thing with the amount of time.
I can't always do a full 37 hrs of working each week if I am too tired in the eves weekends and naptimes, so sometimes a few real weeks will pass before I notch up a full weeks worth of actual work IYSWIM.
Anyhoo, hope that makes sense. In summary, I am keen, but does it deliver that amount of benefit?

I have just been looking at the cheese and bacon lasagne on the good food website as I plan to include this in our own menu for the next month with a few alterations. I was thinking that if we replaced the egg lasagne with pancakes (which I will be doing anyway), lost the basil and frugalised the white sauce this could be a good alternative recipe for shirley.Sealed pot member 735

QOS: trying to send you the batch information, in a zip folder, do you have unzipping technology on your machine?
