Oh my real neighbors are quite safe, I shan't delete any of you for neglecting your decor, I shall exact judgement only upon my followers. However, thanks for not exacerbating things by carelessly and thoughtlessly leaving yours out. Perhaps you might help spread the word, however? I say by Thursday, which is the first day of Spring, everybody should agree to pack away all Christmas stuffs. Including the poinsettias.... I think I'm being perfectly reasonable here, people!

Hey Avatar Gang! Let's be whatever Avi you want for this next change. I'm hoping to get some suggestions from you guys. Are you still into doing this? Do we need a break? Keep going, we have tons of ideas? Let me know! Thanks!

I'm still into doing this. I prefer to keep the avis for 48 hours, rather than 24. But I have noticed that only a few people take part. although if we're enjoying it, then it doesn't really matter.

Another topic I'd like to suggest is silhouettes.

I agree on the 48 hours for the most part...but some avi's don't merit the time.. Due to lack of interest or ??? I was just talking about weekly menu planning with a dearie of mine and maybe something like advanced knowledge might be more helpful for wider participation. I think we had more peeps involved when the Avi topic was personal but said peeps needed prep time to locate, ask mom, etc. So, I'm thinking if we take a week-long break, gather suggestions, and then "menu plan", we might have more participation. Thoughts?

Maybe "menu plan" could also be a topic! I do like a good menu plan, I do them regularly, and am always interested to see what others do...

I agree on the 48 and I like the silhouettes. That will be our first change once we start up again!

how would one do an avatar of their menu plan? I'm probably not seeing what you mean...

Thanks for your input and suggestions! I am very appreciative!

Any suggestions from anyone else?

My menu plan is whatever is in the fridge, freezer, and also depending on my mood. Do I want to cook, take out, or go out. Tonite,the corned beef and cabbage, in 10 min's.
Smells so good!

Well, I hadn't really thought it through! But I suppose we could write down the menu plan and photograph it, or do it in Skitch or a drawing app. Or just post a pic of something on the plan for the week, and describe the rest in the post. Maybe it's more suitable for Question of the day!

That's often my plan too! Although periodically I try to plan for the week, based on what's already in stock, then compile a shopping list for the rest. I always have a leftovers night each week, and try to use them up for lunch too, I hate wasting food. Makes for some unusual meals!

Yeah, I can do the menu plan avatar. My plan would look like this:




With a slight variation throughout the week - Tuesday chocolate, Wednesday toast, Thursday French fries, Friday.....well, you get the idea

I like it! Simple, no cooking, minimal washing up. I think you're onto something there!

And this could be very useful in our house, as our meal planning often goes like this:

Me: would you like x or Y for dinner tonight?
O: no thanks.
Me: well, you have to have something, and it would be helpful if I knew what I was going to cook later, so I can take something out of the freezer, and we have the ingredients for x or y, or possibly z, if you prefer.(z being something that I know he doesn't like)
O: oh, ok, well x sounds great actually!
Me: oh good.

After school pick up:
O: what's for dinner?
Me: x
O: but I don't like x!
Me: but when I offered you a choice this morning, you chose x, and that's what I've planned, so that's what we're having.
O: Sigh.

15 minutes before dinner:
O: what's for dinner?
Me: FOOD!!!
O: what kind of food?
Me: JUST FOOD!!!
