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'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. Chumleyboo, level 79

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!!!

Anth! PERFECT for QotD!!! Feel free to ask whenever you want!! We do a weekly plan on a blank month calendar. We save them to help with ideas for the next month or a year later depending upon the season. We've instigated where a child "helps" with the dish on the menu. Then after anywhere from 3 to 6/7 times, the child is proficient to cook the entire meal on their own. We started this a bit later than we could have, but it's all good !! (Kids: 29, 17, & 16).

Question of the Day!!!!!!: (My thanks to clear vision.....EyeC!)

Fuhrench FuhrEYEz! What are you're favorite French fries?

Fast Food? Tell the name of the establishment and where it is located (city/country).

Frozen? Brand name and do you alter the directions based on personal preference/ altitude/etc.?

Homemade? Grow your own potatoes? Buy potatoes but cut them yourself? What kind of oil do you use? How hot b4 you add potatoes? Do you wedge, French, or crisscut your potatoes?
