Menus 11May-17May

I've been keeping paneer in the fridge. Matar paneer is easy (though it does take a bit of time) and well liked. It makes for a last minute dinner, especially when my initial plan (spaghetti with TJ's meatballs) is toast because... both my kids decided to have pasta for lunch, and dh had Ramen. So.

Monday: orange chicken with rice.


Tuesday: matar paneer with naan.


Wednesday: beef stew with fresh bread.


Thursday: Chinese bbq pork, rice, baby broccoli.


Friday: pizza.


Saturday: chili with cornbread (or regular bread. Linnea doesn't like cornbread.)


Sunday: grilled or roasted chicken, potato salad, green beans with vinaigrette.



I had been trying to get takeout once a week to support local restaurants, but I just hate the whole process so much. Easier to cook.

i hate the pickup process. first two times, i got home missing something (and at least once I realized it before getting far, but i didn't want to deal with going back and asking for it, etc). so now i just make other members of the family do that step! :^)

I'm glad to know it's not just me. And yes on missing stuff, and I just don't wanna deal with decontaminating everything quickly so it doesn't get cold and... and...

i read something that reassured me i didn't need to decontaminate any more - but we do transfer the food to our own plates and etc. (note that i have a feeling i may be more on the 'relaxed' end when it comes to potential for exposure. i'm not going out of my way to do risky things, but neither am i overly cautious, if that makes any sense. i'm not using home delivery of groceries, but i'm also not lingering in stores or gathering in groups. there was a week or so when i did decontaminate packaging, but not any more.)
