Menu plan 7th-13th January 2009

It does feel good to have a box arrive again!  We were getting very low on vegetables by today - only frozen peas and a few onions left.

 

We've now got:
Potatoes, carrots, onions, mushrooms
Kale, fennel, sweet potato, turnips, bagged salad
Bananas, apples, pears, clementines

I'm not particuarly fond of fennel (actually, I loathe it just as I do liquorice, aniseed, fennel seed and caraway seed - a most unpleasant taste in my opinion), so G will probably have that as salads or in addition to the main meal.  The rest is good.

Wednesday: Spanish omelette served with kale
Thursday: n/a (at
Friday: Armenian Soup (I found this in the Cranks' Cookery Book - it contains lentils, potatoes, and dried apricots, and sounds lovely)
Saturday: Vegetarian Pie
Sunday: Meat with roasted vegetables (turnips and potatoes) and kale
Monday: Leftovers
Tuesday: Bean and vegetable stew (kidney / pinto beans, whatever is left in the way of turnip, potato and sweet potato)

I second your dislike of licorice, fennel, anise, etc. There are not many things I don't like in the food line - but that is one. The other main item is Oysters.

About Me

Hello! I'm Jo, I'm 26 and I live in a small house in England with my husband. I work full time in an office, and in my spare time I help out with Sunday school and the church youth group. When I have time, I enjoy reading, cookery and crafts, and I'm trying to learn about the garden.
