I had to make a few changes to the menu last week. I often swap days or even cook something entirely different - I just don't go out and buy anything extra. It has to come from my cupboard/fridge.
Last week I forgot to soak the lentils overnight so I cooked a chicken and shrimp fried rice on the wednesday instead. This meant that I didn't fancy vegetable fried rice on thursday, so we had a rice dish I made up, inspired by spanish paella and an african Jaloff. It was rice cooked with chicken, chorizo, lots of tomato puree and garlic, with plenty of herbs. That was a big hit and very easy so I'll definitely be making that again. Friday, I didn't make thai food, I made an indian chicken curry using a masala kindly donated by my friend Sienna (who is Goan). It was a mixture of LOTS of kashmiri chillies, vinegar and spices. And it was yummy!
Anyway, here's the menu I have planned for this week.
Saturday: Tagliatelle with smoked salmon, salad
Sunday: Chicken roasted with potaotes, lemons and olives, served with rice and salad
Monday: Lentil, garlic and butternut squash stew, rice
Tuesday: Roast pork with potato dauphinois, gravy and vegetables
Wednesday: Autumn Soup with fresh bread
Thursday: Can't decide yet. I'll see how I feel on the day/what leftovers we have that need eating
Friday: Don't know! Nick will probably cook or we'll get a takeout (a rare treat!) as I will be busy preparing all the food for Jasmine's party in the morning
