i almost flaked on the menu plan this week. i was way tempted. last week was such a wash. we missed school monday and tuesday as g's cold went south and turned into a little asthmatic incident. wednesday was an abbreviated day so teachers could have meetings in the afternoon. thursday was parent teacher conference so an 11:00 to 7:00 pm workday. then friday was MAJOR catch-up on all fronts at school after the wonky schedule all week. the part-time computer work has also MAJORly piled up. it's that time of year in the scrappy industry. and of course the house is a pit. we all know what doris does when she hits the overwhelmed freak-out zone. no making lists and tackling the chores one by one. oh no. not me. i ALWAYS go into ostrich mode burying my head in the proverbial sand aka a stack of trashy romance novels. tis true. the weekend was a wash too. i'm slowly digging out today. i think i might be functioning at 80% capacity by tomorrow. vroom vroom vroom.
tonight's menu . . .
sockeye salmon - a couple pats of butter and a sprinkling of cilantro and sea salt. baked at 400 for 15ish minutes i think. served with fresh lime to squeeze on top.
red lobster baked potatoes - poked with a fork, rolled in evoo, sprinkled with sea salt, baked at 400 for an hourish. mmmmmmmmmmmm.
carrots - raw. what can i say? my taste buds are quirky. i eat cooked tomatoes but not raw and raw carrots but not cooked.
this week's menu plan:
saturday - hamburger, macaroni and cheese, carrots, strawberries
sunday - breakfast burritos, oranges, carrots
monday - sockeye salmon, red lobster baked potatoes, carrots
tuesday - french toast, bacon, oranges
wednesday - chicken noodle soup, salad
thursday - hospitality room at the basketball game/g at carrie's
friday - open
Boiling will get your potatoes done faster, and there's less of a probablem of them drying out.
