My meal planning has been working very well. I've been pleased that we are having decent dinners. It's been great because not only do I not have to think about what to have for dinner each day, I can make sure I have the ingredients on hand and we can actually have decent meals. It's going well.
Yesterday, Catherine was scheduled to work until 7, and Andrew was working at school for an athletic event. I had thawed pork chops, and had decided I would plan to have them ready in the 7:15-7:30 range. I was going to make stuffing to go with it, and green beans. I found a fairly simply baked pork chop recipe. I'll be honest, they were sooooo good. I was so pleased.
But of course, I ate dinner alone. Thomas was sick, but wouldn't eat something like that if you paid him. Catherine got confused about her work schedule, and didn't get home until after 8. Andrew was later than I expected and it was nearly 8:30 before he got home. It was disappointing to have such a great meal (I even ate second helpings!) and not be able to share it with anyone. It was nice though, to have a meal ready for Catherine and Andrew when they got home.
Tonight I have a meeting at 6:30 and hope to work at the church before. Dinner is supposed to be grilled cheese, but maybe it will be last Friday's not-cooked meal of Tuna Casserole. I really enjoy having things written so there are options already on my mind!
