This week is very late due to our holiday travel and it’s also not complete due to my laziness – I need to check what meat is in the freezer for planning meal 7 but I can’t be bothered to do it right now.  I’ll plan that meal later in the week and add it once I do!  This will be a week of many grocery trips. 

Meal 4 is my go to meal – the meal I know all the ingredients for off the top of my head and can throw together on my first day home from a trip before meals are planned.  Meals 5 and 6 are from my Google bookmarks and meal 7 will involve some sort of cow from the freezer. 

I’ve already started thinking about next week even though this week isn’t even complete.  New Years Day will involve many appetizers, since that’s my take on Junk Food Day.  The following day we’ve got company coming so I plan to do the Lebanese feast (recipes that my mom and I made over the Christmas holiday together so that I can share them with you.  Then I’ll be doing a lot of cooking to stock the larders for Lance because Art and I will be on vacation just the two of us for the following week! 

I’ve still got quite a backlog of new (recipes to post, but life in 2012 should be significantly calmer than life in 2011.  (Knock on wood.)

Fun times!
