What I'm really doing while I sit here in bed drinking coffee is making a menu for the week and then turning it into a grocery shopping list. Since baguettes aren't going to be on the menu this week, there's some strong indications that I might be malingering and I'm fine with that.
I need six meal ideas. I get to carry over two from last week that I have ingredients for but didn't get around to making (Lamb Curry and Calzones) and I have meat in the freezer for greek pitas if I want to make those... Oh and I have 1.5lbs of lean ground beef that hasn't been spoken for or frozen yet... and, it being super bowl sunday, chicken wings are on sale just about everywhere so I could have a chicken wing and macaroni night easy as anything and whether that's this week or another week, now's the time to put the chicken wings in the freezer.
Monday: lamb curry & rice
Tuesday: calzones
Wednesday: garlic chicken with fries & gravy and green beans
Thursday: beef stew with dumplings
Friday: spaghetti & meatballs
Saturday: chicken wings & white cheddar macaroni
Leftovers: michigan pasties (this is my favourite pastry recipe)
Desserts: churros and/or oatmeal cookies
Recipes to try some other week: Thai spiced tomato soup, Devil's chicken thighs, mushroom risotto, coq a vin, garlic soup
