It dies make life easier, I guarantee it. As for your spinach, perhaps wilt it & freeze it in lumps for easier removal? Or perhaps make batches of Saag Aloo & freeze?Mrs Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289121990808465890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528663482752743529.post-55657442782930864962010-06-15T23:13:59.986+01:002010-06-15T23:13:59.986+01:00Soooooo impressed with your forward planning menu ...Soooooo impressed with your forward planning menu skills. Do agree that it is really satidfying to know what's going to happen and when but I still Can't get my head round doing it.<br /><br />Any ideas about what to do with a glut of spinach?<br />Not sure I want spinach for supper every night this week.mountainearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977393968796316843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528663482752743529.post-7157104789564888422010-06-15T11:21:59.892+01:002010-06-15T11:21:59.892+01:00Monalisa - as I said, I've been quite busy lat...Monalisa - as I said, I've been quite busy lately and it's not about to stop soon!<br /><br />Alienne - I did my stint of working in an office 5 days a week for about 20 years and working for yourself at home is SO much better although the pay's rubbish. And I read it as 'Mrs' anyway!<br /><br />Pinklea - yes! A fellow menu-er! I don't understand why everyone doesn't do it. Takes little time to write down and then it's done for the week. It would drive me potty not to know what's for dinner each night.Mrs Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289121990808465890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528663482752743529.post-58660655236710200762010-06-15T03:14:21.456+01:002010-06-15T03:14:21.456+01:00I do the very same thing as you with the weekly me...I do the very same thing as you with the weekly menu thing: plan it out, go grocery shopping, then don't think about it for the rest of the week - just check the menu. It works extremely well for me too, and although people call me "anal", I retort that I'm simply "particular" and I only have to hit the supermarket once a week and I always have something planned for dinner - how many times do THEY have to go and what's for dinner at THEIR house?! I'm a little more lax with lunches as well, but generally, we do have lunch stuff in the house.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528663482752743529.post-83420608508796014362010-06-14T23:37:30.772+01:002010-06-14T23:37:30.772+01:00Sorry - MRS J.

God knows my contributions to the blogosphere are dull; I really like the sound of that way of life - it sounds so much more satisfying than going to the office 5 days a week and wishing you were somewhere else. <br /><br />I think I have Battle Royale somewhere (though I might be confusing it with Battle for Algiers) that storyline sounds distinctly familiar. Probably I have both. Despite a penchant for the most awful crap films (Attila) and poncy arthouse films (Lenin) both kids also have a marked taste for gore - possibly the result of being left at home with a Sam Raimi/George Romero fan during their most impressionable childhood years. I must dust if off and have another look.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528663482752743529.post-52064302159299918402010-06-14T18:02:49.513+01:002010-06-14T18:02:49.513+01:00I'm exhausted after reading that...I'm exhausted after reading that...Monalisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06734693255704664139noreply@blogger.com
