melb100 lives in edinburgh!
we discussed things, and K wants to participate more in the cooking. Which would be lovely, if it weren’t for the fact that I’m a total kitchen hog, and his is a very small kitchen. I don’t relinquish power gladly!
But we decided on the menu planning together last night and went shopping together this afternoon (naturally, I still didn’t trust him with the fruit and veg; he got cereals, juice and dairy produce). We included some very simple meals/ ones he’s watched me prep before so that he can try his hand at certain (carefully allotted) tasks!
Monday: tofu gyouza, pineapple broccoli and pepper stir fry, rice
Make veg chilli
Tuesday: veg+bean chilli and rice
Wednesday: home late so leftover chilli and rice
Thursday: “carbonara” (no bacon) pasta, roasted veg salad.
Friday: Japanese style curry soup (aubergine and pumpkin) with rice.
Weekend: left overs/ yakisoba/ eat out (Sunday?)
