What's Cooking At The Madhouse ? menu plan week 49

I had a bit of a shock when I started writing this blog post. Week 49? How can that be possible ?! Only a few short weeks until the end of the year ?! It's the busiest time of the year (or at least each term) at school as we're busy filling in the pupils' reports and going to a conseil de classe class-meeting for each separate class. Luckily Sophie is home to help out with keeping everyone fed when I get in late and tired. We're still enjoying lots of too good to go bags from a local supermarket that offer interesting meal options for the end of the week. Last week we got a chicken kebab - slices of fresh chicken marinated in spices, with a cherry tomato, a slice of courgette and some onions on top, stuck on a stick with a square of wood on the bottom so you could stand it up to cook it. I couldn't work out how to cook it without the wood burning though so I stripped everything off, chopped it into chunks and cooked it in a frying pan. It was delicious ! Lots of other nibbly bits (cheese wrapped in smoked ham, olives, a steak and cheese sandwich, pear tarts ...) plus bits for main meals (curry-marinated chicken, gyros-marinated chicken, crab sandwich-filling, ...). Great for reducing landfill and improving tummy-fill so no complaints from me ! Here's what is on the cards for next week.

Thursday
