Menu Plan 27th May - 2nd June

15:01, Wednesday 27 May 2009 .. Posted in Menu Planning .. 1 comments .. Link

The last box for May arrived yesterday. We're gradually getting through the "hungry gap" now, so things are looking more springlike.

The bottle visible at the bottom of the picture is ginger beer - yesterday was my husband's birthday, and I ordered that as an extra birthday treat for him, and was very worried the order would be mixed up. Thankfully, it wasn't, and he had it with his supper yesterday evening. Apparently it was very good stuff.

Potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, onions
Kohlrabi, cauliflower, green pepper, lettuce, spinach
3 apples, 2 kiwi, 2 pears, 3 oranges, 3 bananas

We've got lots of carrots left from before, and a few potatoes.

My proposed menu plan is:
Wednesday: Out at friends
Thursday: Red lentil coconut curry (carrots, cauliflower, spinach) served with brown rice
Friday: Kohlrabi with peas and potato, served with brown rice
Saturday: Holiday
Sunday: Holiday
Monday: Leftovers (G is visiting a friend for supper)
Tuesday: Pizza topped with pepper, onion and mushrooms

I may need to modify the menu a little to accomodate more potato and less rice. We're not really getting through the potatoes fast enough at the moment. We may have fried potatoes and egg for Saturday breakfast, before we set off on our VERY LONG WALK (about 27 miles, over two days, stopping overnight at a B&B in the middle - not so very long, really).

Hey Jo!! That is one lovely box of goodies!! I always enjoy seeing what you get each time. And I've been wondering.......... is this some kind of cooperative you are involved in?? Like a community garden thing?? Do you know what will be in the boxes or is it a surprise every week? Hope I'm not being too nosey!!

About Me

Hello! I'm Jo, I'm 27 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 a bit of gardening. We don't have any kids, but would really love to have some one day. Thanks for visiting me here!

Some words are different in England and America, so if you're American and I use an unfamiliar word, it might be in my little dictionary
