Menu revisited

Here's a picture of my hot and sour soup before I added the egg.

So I'm making some changes to my menu because there was a few things I forgot to consider when making it.  Tonight was supposed to be spaghetti, but someone else is feeding me.. lol  I also forgot to take into account when the girls aren't here.  I don't need to make big meals and can be more experimental when they are with their dad.

As I was making the hot and sour soup last night, I realized that I should move the other Asian type foods closer together so they can share ingredients and possibly left overs.  Also, since it's my first try, maybe trying the beef stir fry before I'm feeding it to the girls might be better.  So I'm moving that to Sunday night.  Then the Lo mien to Monday. I figure I can mix in the stir fry left overs with the  lo mien.  I am going to do quesadillas on Tuesday for 2 reasons.  It's a very quick meal and Brenna has soccer practice on Tuesdays and also, I can use any left over meats and veggies from the lo mien and stir fry in the quesadillas.  I'm also going to try putting the tofu left over from the hot and sour soup in both the stir fry and the lo mien.

Wednesday  - Bierock Casserole
Thursday - Tilapia
Friday - Hamburgers
Saturday/Sunday - Spaghetti

We had a ball at the drive in.  But Smurfs ended up being the second feature. I really didn't think the girls would make it through 2 movies starting after 9:30 but they did and had a ball.  The first movie was Spy Kids and Brenna now has a new favorite movie. I told her I'd have to see if we can find someone to loan us the first two Spy Kid movies so she could see them.  Or maybe I can find them on cable.  Which I totally need to drop my cable, internet and phone plan down.  It's so frustrating, operators always seem to be busy if you want to lower or cancel your plan, but they sure can help you quickly when you want to pay more money!
