Menu Planning Monday.




Oh dear, whilst a slightly better effort than the last couple of weeks, this entry is not a qualified success! Seems I might have been distracted by purchasing methods of maggot removal rather than concentrating on my family's food, so I just bunged a heap of stuff in the trolley (plus have leftovers from a cold lunch that my mum brought over today) and will play it by ear each day...

Fridge contents =

Meatballs
Pork steaks
Chicken thighs and drumsticks
Cold ham
Cooked chicken drumsticks

Aubergines
Red onions
Lettuce
Peppers
New potatoes
Coleslaw
Cucumber
Mushrooms

Half a tub of single cream
Big wedge of brie
Halloumi
Sausage rolls
Yoghurt
Salad and mint sauce from tonight's takeaway
Single shot of vodka

So, it's a pot-luck week folks! We had an Indian takeaway tonight, and are staying with mother-in-law on Friday night - she has spaghetti and meatballs planned. Will turn many of the above ingredients into sarnies and picnics for half-term, and suspect half the meat will end up in the freezer. Oh dear, that actually only leaves 3 meals to cook - I may have overcatered as per.

The only certainty this week is that I will eating far too much! I have my big Nightrider event coming up on Saturday and feel the need to fuel up for it - what an excuse to overeat! Not sure of our food plans for that evening, but will take some bananas and mini pork pies with me to eat en-route. And the Husband has been tasked with finding me an ice-cold beer to down at approximately 7am when I get to the finish line...

As ever, pop over to see if MrsM has done any better than me this week!
