Best Laid Plans

In an attempt to be more organised, make less trips to the shop, spend less, waste less I have vowed to go back to meal planning for each week.

Fantastic idea, how could it fail!

It's already floundering and we are only on Monday!

The plan was

Sunday - guinea fowl  having picked up a half price bird on Friday night
Monday - out with friends for dinner but get some quiche out of the freezer for MrP
Tuesday - The 3 cheese veg bake from Delicious, need to remember to get the ham hock out tonight.
Wed - The turkey kofta jobbies from Delicious, get turkey out of freezer too
Thurs - Pork sage and feta bake from Delicious, whilst I'm in there may as well locate the frozen pork fillets
Fri - fish cakes

Sorted!

No not really

Saturday MrP wakes up with a migraine, migraine wears off enough for him to manage bacon and egg for lunch, followed by two toasted muffins.  In the evening we had the trout  admittedly I did serve up enough to feed 3 people amply, so after his portion and half of mine he was suitably stuffed, but then went on to yogurt and some of the foccacia with a load of marmalade.

So surprise, surprise when an already run down MrP wakes up Sunday morning with his gall stones rattling around like a carnival.

So the guinea fowl is now in the freezer, so much for more coming out than going in.  I still roasted the chicken I was intending for lunches and we had some of that with some salad, even his gall stones couldn't take too much offence to that.

The chicken was lovely, I tried out Marco's suggestion of mushing up a knorr chicken stock cube with olive oil, added some paprika and smeared all over the chicken, with some black pepper.  It gave it quite a salty crispy skin, so thankfully I hadn't used any extra salt.  Worth a try.

So Sunday's plan was out and there is no way the pastry and cheese in the quiche is going to do him much good.  There is a chicken leg and more salad though.

Meanwhile I have the problem of choosing what to order at The Bulls Head
