I do love menu planning - but its become impossible to do around these parts at the mo. Hubby works shifts, but often his shifts are changed at the last minute, and I never know who the kids will be inviting for tea! I'm going to make beef stew and dumplings in my slow cooker on Friday though for my daughter who will be home at the weekend and loves stew and dumplings. xxx
That must be really difficult to plan for. Mine is easy,everyone home at the same time and no messing - eat at 19.00.
Enjoy your stew at the weekend. How is your daughter getting on? My son is really loving university, he's found a job and started last night. Rings me everyday - I speak to him more now than when he lived at home. Haven't to see him yet as he doesn't have a webcam for skype. Will have to send him one
Shes doing ok, the only fly in the ointment is the boyfriend in another city!! I forgot to mention earlier that my sis and I met David Essex on several occasions when he played at SHeffield City Hall. We sussed that he stayed in the Grosvenor hotel, and so we used to go for a drink there. He used to grant his fans "an audience" so we got to talk to him a few times - I think he was just sussing out the totty though. You wouldnt have got that with the lovely Donny! xxx
Of course it would be ok for you to do the music week - I would love it if you did! "Enchilladas in the ice box" - I didnt realise that the ice box was a fridge, and we didnt have a fridge in the 1960's - and vesta chow mein was as exotic as our food got!!!
delicious.....now feeling rather hungry!!
Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting.
I think Menu Planning is a very effective way to save money, plan healthy meals plus reliefs the stress of having a daily (in)decision of what to cook.
I´ve been working in shifts too so my menu planning has to be more flexible but I´m getting better :)
