It’s been a couple of weeks since my last weekly menu plan. The lamb curry didn’t go down too well, slow cooking it made the lamb much softer and stringier and although it’s how I like it best, it’s not how my family like it. So I won’t be trying that again. Then we had a week with my birthday which involved in another lamb curry but this time it was a take out.
We also had a week where there was a lot of sickeness and keeping the family separated. Some ate, some didn’t and it was in different rooms and at different times. It was all a bit awkward. I ordered a Chinese meal on the Saturday as we had been out, but even though it was ordered at 6.30pm it didn’t arrive until nearly 10pm. Thankfully, the younger ones had opted for a Mc Donalds instead and their Dad had fetched that. Note to self, do not order food for delivery on a Saturday evening.
Anyway, I do think we’ve had our fill of curry for now so next weeks menu doesn’t have it on at all. And if we order take out at any point, it won’t be curry and it won’t be on Saturday!

Although, now I come to think, I don’t believe we’ve had a Mapu Curry for a while…mmmm!
I’ve already started filling in my online basket for the Christmas food shop. There is no way I’d be able to handle the supermarket. I have also ordered my Turkey crown and a few other treats from elsewhere. We are picking them up from Marks and Spencers. I thought the Christmas pre-order would have been cheaper at Morrisons, but it wasn’t.
Keeping it simple this week and linking up with Katy Kicker’s Meal planning linky.
That’s a shame the lamb curry didn’t work out. My family won’t even try lamb. They are dead against it which is rubbish because I love it.
You did the right thing keeping everyone separated in the week of sickness! That is rubbish about the Chinese. I would have been complaining to them so much!
Fab meal plan! I am on with doing the online Christmas shop! All I have to buy is the veg and stuffing. My dad is getting the meat which I always think is the hardest thing to buy x
I love a lamb curry! My boys can be funny about the slow cooker too.
Oh wow – I would be seriously hangry waiting until near 10pm!! Blimey!!
You’ve just reminded me to make a start on my Christmas online shop – thank you!
