we went totally pear shaped by running out of rice which was on the menu 3 times - however I improvised around it andwe ate from the freezer off plan. New month being planned this week so will post then!People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.

Hi, Hope you don't mind me saying,but we sometimes have whatever you would normally have with rice, on jacket potatoes
Just wondered if that would have helped.

Okay. I think this is the plan this week:
Friday: Pie and wedges with peas
Sat: HM Pizza
Sun: Roast (quorn for me, chicken for DH)
Mon: Pasta Bake and Garlic Bread
Tues: Cheese Beano (think DH is having Sausage and Mash)
Wed; Omelette and salad
Thursday: Risotto (with either garlic bread, or salad or both)
Friday: Fireworks food at the Firework Display we are helping at, and a baked potato with beans and cheese if that isn't enough.
Lunches will be HM bread sandwiches, with Marmite for DH because he really likes that on a sandwich (on its own:o!), and probably quorn or cheese with salad for me. Crisps, yogs. Cupasoups for DH. Fruit
Breakfast: cereal, some tinned fruit, boiled eggs, toast if wanted. Fruit juice. Buckets of tea!Live the good life where you have been planted.

OK, first go at *describing* my meal plans. Last week went to plan with a bit of re-organising and grubbing around in the freezer.
Groceries just delivered, in one of Ocado's rare free delivery slots.
Here goes:
Sunday 30; Locro (south American beef & chickpea stew; should be enough for 8 with half into the freezer); fifteens for pud (the children will make these I hope).
Monday 31; Chicken & veg stir fry (mostly veg, and mostly because there's a pot of left-over gravy from the chinese-style pork potroast we had last week)
Tuesday; Twice baked potatoes with mushrooms and prosciutto (dealing with a huge mushroom glut courtesy of 'Pound-a-Bowl' down the market;)
Wednesday; Chicken & red pepper pasta
Thursday; Green Chili Tortilla Soup Surprise (it is neither green, chilli, nor soup, and there are no tortillas. It got adapted and is probably best described as slightly Mexican mince), and corn muffins
Friday; Sweet Potato & tomato soup; fresh bread
Saturday; Tuna Melt bagels for lunch, off to brother's for fireworks at supper time and I *think* they're cooking for us.
In case of emergency: there are four frozen meals in the freezer, most requiring a starch but, hey, couscous. I should plan for us to eat a couple of those in the next week or two.Make £2023 in 2023: (all decluttering), current total £2860 me, £330 for friends & family, £468 charity donations.0 -
Hi All,
A touch late again. Last week was hopeless, C and Y ending up at opposite ends of the country. Let's try again...
Monday: Smoked mackerel with orange and hazelnut green beans, couscous
Tuesday: Pumpkin tamarind curry with rice
Wednesday: Celeriac, apple and cider soup
Thursday: Walnut and pomegranate-stuffed fish with rice and spinach
Friday: Paneer, cashew nut and apricot masala with HM chapatis
Saturday: Baked potato, cottage cheese, salad
Sunday: LO masala
Have a lovely week,

For the first time in a while I have done a monthly plan, so should make posting on here a lot easier.
Monday - college
Tuesday - [STRIKE]chicken fajitas[/STRIKE] cinema
Wednesday - cheese and onion omelette with potato wedges
Thursday - college
Friday - pork and apple casserole with mashed potato (time for the slow cooker to come out!)
Saturday - homemade burger with potato wedges and coleslaw - might be going to my sisters
Sunday - sausage rigatoni with garlic bread
I might be going to the cinema on Tuesday or Wednesday, so will need to work round that.
Ok, slight change already as still not sure when/if i'm going to the cinema so i'll put the pork casserole off until Friday as i'm pretty sure I won't be going thenGrocery challenge - Nov: £52/£100
