I had planned on catching up on some blog posts last week, but my last post was in fact last week's menu plan - oops ! I did continue sorting out the house though, which isn't a bad thing. We were supposed to get a new boiler installed on Wednesday but on Tuesday afternoon, the company phoned to say they were cancelling because the work was impossible! Why did we sign the contract then? All the financial aid from the government was set up for this company so I had to dash about checking they weren't going to get their hands on the money. Blooming gits ! Next week, we're back to school but only half of the year groups are in on each day so half of the work will be online, half in class. There are two days where my only face-to-face lesson of the day is at 8am ! So, here's the meal plan for this week. (Page numbers refer to recipes from DK Books Family Kitchen Cookbook.)
Monday
lunch- beefburgers, rice & veg
Tuesday
lunch- spaghetti bolognese
dinner- Panacalty (corned beef/potato stew)
Wednesday
lunch- Pork schnitzel with creamy mustard sauce (p129), mash & veg
dinner- General Tso's chicken with rice (p100)
Thursday
lunch - Auvergne torte (cheese, potato & bacon pie) (p180) with tomato salad
dinner- Brazilian pork & beans (p141) with rice
Friday
lunch- leftovers
dinner - Chicken & Ebly stew (p104)
Saturday
lunch- maybe a cheeky takeaway? - kebab or fried chicken (it's from the same shop)
dinner- there should be leftovers from lunch
Sunday
lunch- chicken thighs, roast potatoes & veg
lunch- chicken thighs, roast potatoes & veg
dinner- toast or leftovers
So sorry that you had that stress with the boiler, I hope you can get things sorted soon!
ReplyDeleteLove meal plan, as always! We're having a takeaway tonight and I'm really looking forward to it!
It sounds like you have been busy. That is rotten news about the boiler.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the return to school.
Ohh! I love corned beef and potato stew and seems ages since we've had it. x
Oh no, what a pain with the boiler. Hope you'll have it sorted soon. Good luck with the smooth return to school. I think I have the same book, will check out the Auvergne torte.
