What's Cooking At The Madhouse ? menu plan week 18

I didn't do a menu plan last week as it was the first week of the school holidays and we had a day out in Lille followed by a day trip to London, so I just used up what was in the cupboards and fridge. London was cool - we managed to fit in Madame Tussaud's, followed by sightseeing (Big Ben, Horse Guards, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, including the Hard Rock Café), some shopping (Oxford Street and Regents Street, including the big Nike store in Oxford Circus where all the lights suddenly went out and we all had to be evacuated down the emergency exit by the lights on people's phones - the store manager said she had no idea what was going on and it was the first time it had ever happened) and some final shopping at Camden (where every second store was stuffed full of Harry Styles merch - cost me a fortune !). Once we got back to Dunkirk, we totally dejunked and cleared out Pierre's room which is about to be transformed into Juliette's room as Pierre has taken over her bigger room since she moved to Lille to study. It all got pretty trashed with the leaky roof so she has a new bed arriving next week to replace the old mouldy one, plus she'll be tarting up the paintwork and putting her own stamp on it. She has a couple of exams left then she's on summer break (already !!) so she can deal with that now the bulk of the clearing is done. We have another week off to chill which will be lovely, plus Pierre has his appointment at the orthodontist to get his braces sorted out on Monday. Here's what is on the menu for this week.

What's Cooking At The Madhouse ? menu plan week 16

Guess what - the roof is fixed ! Woohoo ! They waited until the Friday so I was pretty much convinced they wouldn't make it but they finally arrived on Friday. They replaced the metal strip that was leaking but they've said that the tiles going down the diagonal sides of the roof (are they the gables ?) could do with replacing so I've asked for a quote for that too. I can start cleaning up the mould patches inside now and I hope that'll be it. Only a week to go until we're on holidays - can't wait. Here's what's on the menu this week.

Monday

lunch- French tacos (the Old El Paso take on Pierre's favourite fast food - wraps filled with chicken, avocado and cheese sauce - the fast food version has chips and salad instead of avocado but that sounds good to me)

dinner - pork lomo with pasta

Tuesday

lunch-leftover pork lomo, mash and peas/carrots

dinner- chilli con carne with rice

Wednesday

lunch- sausages and lentils

dinner- leftover chilli con carne with baked potatoes

Thursday

lunch- canteen for me, leftovers for Pierre

dinner- battered fish, rice and peas

Friday

lunch- spaghetti bolognese

dinner - pork fajitas with guacamole, rice and salsa

Saturday

lunch- Moroccan chicken and chickpeas with couscous

dinner- Deliveroo

Sunday

lunch- baked potatoes with bacon, onions and cheese

dinner - creamy chicken (with bacon if there's any left) and pasta

What's Cooking At The Madhouse ? menu plan week 15

The weeks seem to be zipping by at the moment. Fingers crossed, the roofers have promised to come and do the work on the roof this next week. Once that's done, I'll need to sort out all the bits of mould that have come through on the ceilings and repaint Pierre's ceiling as that won't clean off any more. Hopefully that will be the end of it after that. It's been going on for months and months, literally, so it'l be a weight off my mind. In the meantime, here's what will be filling our stomachs next week.

Monday

lunch- chicken tenders with potato balls and sweetcorn/coleslaw

dinner - pork casserole with rice

Tuesday

lunch- baked ham, boiled potatoes and ratatouille

dinner- sausagemeat balls with pasta and tomato sauce

Wednesday

lunch- breaded chicken cutlets with pasta & green beans

dinner- smoked sausages with rice and lentils

Thursday

lunch- canteen for me, leftovers for Pierre

dinner- chicken vol-au-vents with mash & sweetcorn

Friday

lunch- chilli con carne with rice

dinner - pasta bolognese

Saturday

lunch- Spanish chicken & rice

dinner- fricadelles (spicy sausages) with pasta
