    I'm on holiday next week (not at work, that is, rather than going away) so the following is a work in progress and open to substantial change:

    Friday - HM fakeaway curry (prawn korma, lemon rice, veg pakoras - all stuff that was on special offer or yellow-stickered :money:)
    Saturday - probably pizza, [STRIKE]although I haven't yet decided if it will be HM or bought[/STRIKE] it will be a bought one, from the deli counter - I fancy a naughty treat! ;)
    Sunday - chicken and bacon in honey-mustard sauce, with psb and HM foccacia (well, HM from a cheap packet mix from AF, anyway! ;))
    Monday - probably out for lunch and a sandwich or snack for dinner
    Tuesday - bierocks (from the latest HB series) with ? baked beans
    Wednesday - lamb and feta kebabs (RTC RM ones) with salad and chilli naan (a mix from AF)
    Thursday - probably out at lunchtime, then a hot dog for snack dinner

    [STRIKE]I'll be back with the rest at some later point - I wanted to note down what I've got so far before I forgot! :o[/STRIKE]
    Back after a very long break!

    Funny enough I was just reading the recipe before coming onto MSE. I lived in Germany 14 years and I've never heard of them... But I cannot wait to try them. I would say they are like a pie so serve them with whatever you would have with a pie...

    DS wants to try Faschierter Rahmbraten (Meatloaf)... so I had better get that into the mealplan soon...

    ... I so HAVE to buy the book!

    Sounds like me! ;)

    How do you get your OH/family to 'repeat' meals to much. My wife says she is 'sick' of something, even if we've only had it once and then I feel too bad to feed it to her! LO (4) can be a bit funny too. I think maybe I should be more firm with them :o
