Meal planning Monday

-


I have read  At Home with Mrs M's Meal Planning Mondays for ages now and always meant to join in. I always plan my meals for the week because I send Mr K out shopping, so it helps to be organised. And today is the day (procrastination, did I hear you say? You betcha! I have applications to do, so I'm trying to find something to do. Anything will do. Don't worry, I'm going back to my fevered computer work in a minute) so here goes;

 Mon; Meatballs and spaghetti, with a tomato sauce
Tues; Sausage bake with red peppers and rataouille served with rice
Wed; Breaded chicken using chicken thighs served with baked potatoes and sweet potatoes
Thurs; Fish served with roast potato cubes and a pepper tomato mush
Fri; Homemade pizza for the children, risotto con funghi e parma for us. Nice glass of cider to wash it down with.
Sat; Probably tea at my parents.
Sun; I fancy marmalade pork as made by Jamie. May have to downscale if a child offers to make tea for me.

    I'm impressed, I just can't seem to get in to meal planning. I have things in the fridge or freezer for the week, but I play it by ear each day. Roast pork for us tonight as we rarely have a roast on a Sunday so we have Sunday dinner on Monday.

    That makes good sense to me; Sunday on Monday may be what we do next week if a child cooks. Meal planning is just a habit and an attempt to make sure I don't spend a lot of money!!!

My Latest Trick...

I really need to introduce you to my latest hooky love, before it gets finished and I end up not telling you the back story. Let me show you what I'm on about first; World, meet Autumn Ripple Blanket (Autumn for short). You see, I have a granny square with flowers and a black background blanket that I'm desperate to finish for my bedroom, and a list of decorative items I'd like to do for Autumn and Christmas, so I sat down last week to make an Autumn Inspirations board on Pinterest (like you do) and made this; https://www.pinterest.com/angeljem5/autumn-and-fall/ and I loved the colours and the feelings it aroused in me. Colour-wise I am a warm autumn, but very often misbehave and don't wear them (long reason; won't say now) but I do love them, and the whole Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness bit, so the board keeps filling up with pure autumnal inspiration. Until this one hits my eye. From The Glamorous Housewife's site . And the colours are be...

Hallowe'en... good or bad?

-

For years when mine were little, we studiously avoided Hallowe'en. We went to the Church's Light Party (if fancy dress was in order, it was superheroes, or princesses not witches or skeletons) and made little or no adjustment to the daily order, so no bobbing for apples, peeling skins for divination or any thing that smacked of magicality at all. It worked for us; we didn't go Trick or treating, and those who visited us were politely told, "We don't celebrate Hallowe'en here" The children grew up sensible and well-adjusted, they don't do gross horror films and I'm proud of them. This year they are all old enough to make up their own mind. The lads are easy; if it involves effort, then they're not bothered. But the Princess is a great joiner, and wants to be part of her group. So when a friend invited her to a Hallowe'en party I gave her the option; of course the answer was yes. "I'm not celebrating Hallowe'en," she said,...
