Now i know my menu says November but it is full steam ahead into December here and Christmas just around the corner. More drama in my house this week but that is for my next post tomorrow.
Now to my menu. It is all about survival for me at the moment.
Monday Fahija (as I post this I need to say that is did not happen as I was in at the hospital with DS2)
Tuesday Chicken and vege.
Wednesday Crockpot food my recipe. Filled with leftover vege and meat.
Thursday Pie, potato and salad.
Friday Easy meal toasted sandwiches
Saturday Beef roast with vege to match and salad
Sunday cold meat and salad.
I know my DH will be saying again when it comes to the salad.
After much effort that has gone into procuring a replacement TV of equal value (see the blog post here) I was sent this joke. I had to post it because I think I have found my next burglar alarms.
A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables when a voice in the dark said,
'Jesus knows you're here.'
He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze.
When he heard nothing more , after a bit, he shook his head and continued.
Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard
'Jesus is watching you.'
Freaked out, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice.
Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.
'Did you say that?' he hissed at the parrot.
'Yep', the parrot confessed, then squawked, 'I'm just trying to warn you that he is watching you.'
The burglar relaxed. 'Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?'
'Moses,' replied the bird.
'Moses?' the burglar laughed. 'What kind of people would name a bird Moses?'
'The kind of people that would name a Rottweiler Jesus.'
Now I feel much better. There is always someone worse off than you.
Now is the time more than ever that I need to make the menu plan. I am tired and can't wait for the end of the school holidays. I can't wait for my grumpy children to get a chance to sleep in and relax, for the festive season to be over with so we can slow down life and enjoy the summer break. None the less late here is my menu
Monday BBq chicken and veges.
Tuedsay Crock pot - my special throw together recipe. Always tastes good.
Wednesday Leftover chicken and noodles day. Throw together all the left overs with some flour and an egg. Meat vege and noodles.
Thurday steak and vege. BBq style. So easy and no demanding my time.
Friday Homemade pizza.
Saturday. It will be leftovers again. DS2 is having a birthday party and I am sure we will be all food out. If you get my drift.
Here is my Menu for this week. I am starting to fall back on a few of my favourites as I am getting tired. It is heading towards the end of the school year.
Monday Spaghetti Bolignaise
Tueday Meatballs and Spaghetti
Wednesday Frozen meal as there was one left after last weeks effort at using all the pre made meals
Thurdsay Chicken and Rice Salad
Friday Homemade Burgers
Saturday Roast Meat and Salad
Sunday Cold meat vege and salad. Thank goodness for summer and easier meals
I am grumpy. Some low life kicked our front door in and took our TV. I know that it could have been much worse, we could have lost a lot more, had damage and worse but ..... Now my space feels violated and my safely compromised.
My husband is away with work and I am at home alone with the children. I wonder now if the low life will be back for more so I am busy making sure my computer is backed up and any other temptations are out of sight. Who knows what else might go. My husband is not back from his long haul trip until Thursday so fingers crossed nothing else will happens.
So here is the space for the TV
Here is the temporary fix for the front door. All I can say is that the door is quite dated and door knob is broken. We were not going to replace it but now we have to get a new front door as this one is broken and we really have little choice but to replace the knob. That was not in the budget.
I hope that they do not come back as I could not go through this a second time while DH is away. Wont his txt message give him a surprise when he lands in Hong Kong latter tonight.
So to the low life that came uninvited into my house and stole from us. I hope you enjoy our TV. I hope you put the money you make from it to good use and don't waste it on meaningless life activities such as feeding a habit.
Welcome to my Monday Menu. This week I am trying to use up the leftover and frozen meals in my house. They are accumulating and need using so the menu will be an easy prepare.
