Week 54 Menu

WHAT THE?!?!?!?. Where are those black armbands anyway? We haven't needed them this bad since the 86 years before the Red Sox broke the curse!

Since we are in mourning, Funeral Potatoes every day this week. Okay, not really. But honestly, how am I going to cook in these circumstances?!?!

I will say this for today's "festivities" - the food was dang good and the company better. I'll report on that later this week. :)

Here's my menu for the week. Bring it on, folks. I'm getting boring. Inspire me! Wait, no pressure. Post whatever you want! :)

MONDAY:
- Chicken Piccata
- Mashed potatoes
- Salad

TUESDAY:
- Chili
- Corn Cake Toppers

WEDNESDAY:
- Leftovers

THURSDAY:
- Homemade pizza (w/Trader Joe's 99 cent pizza crust dough, of course)
- Salad

FRIDAY:
- Squiggly pasta, as Cate likes to call it...probably with the Knorr packet for Herb & Garlic pasta sauce, and chicken
- Salad
- Bread

SATURDAY:
- Eat out

SUNDAY:
- Breakfast for dinner...Waffles? Pancakes?
- Fruit
- Hashbrowns

So sorry about the game, Jane--we were pretty sad here too (looking forward to history in the making as well as Steve's neighbor from his tiny little town actually winning a Super Bowl).

Food for the week--lots to celebrate this week! Pancake Tuesday (ok, I think this is more an England thing, but who doesn't like pancakes for dinner), and Chinese New Year on Thursday! I always look for an excuse to do a celebration dinner.

Jessica said...

I just got back from NYC yesterday. What?! You mean I'm not on vacation anymore?! I have to cook?!

Well, if I have to make anything it's gonna be a clean-out-the-pantry sort of week I guess. Probably lots of pasta, maybe a soup if I can manage to scrounge enough ingredients to make one. And I still have ingredients for a chicken pot pie, so maybe that too.
