Great minds think alike! My new strategy is that every family member has to propose one entree per week. I don't mind doing the cooking but I was tired of generating all the ideas and plans! C and Z can both cook and will offer to do so on occasion. Toby NSM.

BTW I have a good shawarma recipe from NYT; if you are interested i can send it via email.

Let me know how getting the kids to cook works. I'm planning on keeping track of how many weeks Linnea makes Kraft mac and cheese!

I'd love your shawarma recipe. I've tried and modified several, but alas, every always likes the Trader Joe's ones better, but I'm more than happy to try another!

it has been sent. i've never tried other recipes - or the trader joe's version - so it might not be any better than what you've tried.

Thank you! I look forward to trying it.

I may have to buy tumeric and try it sooner than I thought: looks like TJs either doesn't carry it any longer, or I've struck out three times out of three in finding it. Of course I didn't have time to ask the manager to see if it's been discontinued or if I've been unlucky or what.

Need to check my stash and plan a Penzey's order.
