cooking

So I've been to the supermarket about 11 times this week. Today, BOTH my DH & I went to the supermarket. We're spending thousands, we're totally disorganized, the cupboards are overflowing but we keep running out of things and its exhausting. My mother didn't go the market every day. Why is this happening??

Resolved: We are not setting foot in a grocery store until next Monday! I don't care if the kids are putting non-dairy creamer on their cereal. I am NOT going!!!

Breakfast: Cereal with blueberries and milk.
Lunch: Quesadillas and mixed chopped veggies. Animal crackers & strawberries
Snack: Fruit & yogurt
Dinner: Home-made sushi and noodles for baby Chuck, ice cream cones, watermelon

I'm going to do constructive things (like paint the guest room) with all the time I save. Let's see if we can make this work.

Day two of this menu planning program went something like this:

Breakfast:
Cereal with milk
Poached eggs

Lunch
PB&J on toast
Turkey and camembert (just brought in from Lyon)
Pasta with butter
Its a bit of a restaurant here at lunch.

Snack
Popcorn & Juice

Dinner
Meatloaf (1lb meat, 1 egg, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, tbsp katchup, tbsp brown mustard, pepper, 1 clove garlic, 1/2 onion)
Steamed broccoli
Steamed brown basmati rice

Plus leftover dahl curry & chana masala for the grownups on their rice.

Other things I'm doing to create a harmonious style are getting dressed to shoes each morning and making the beds. I've also got the boys putting away their own laundry and clearing up after dinner... swanky.
