Menus 8Nov-14Nov

I think I'm finally going to get the mapo tofu that has been on the menu for the past few weeks made this week. Week before last we... forgot to buy the tofu. Yesterday... we forgot to take the meat out of the freezer (and, tbf, get the rice started).

So.

Monday: mapo tofu.
Tuesday: flank steak with onions, avocado, tortillas.
Wednesday: chicken tikka masala, roasted cauliflower, naan.
Thursday: bacon, eggs, and toast.
Friday: pork tenderloin, rice?, gai lan or bok choi.
Saturday: spatchcocked chicken, roasted potatoes.
Sunday: chicken salad on lo rye bread.

Need to get some new things into rotation. We're starting to get the hang of just cooking for two (or three, so dh can have leftovers the next day if it's something 'high value'), but I do see the rut. Part of it is the 'empty the freezer' bit, part of it is me on Weight Watchers, part of it is just... it's just the two of us, whatEVER.

Veggies usually get shoved in their somewhere. Green beans have been nasty these past few times, dunno why.

Random thought which I may actually consider executing. One of the annoying things about making mapo tofu is cooking (by which I mean: remembering to cook) the frozen peas in advance, because otherwise, they're hard. I wonder if it would totally ruin the rice if I tossed them in the rice cooker to cook in there? Most of the info I've found is one rice and dried peas, not frozen ones.
