Menus, and Eating from the Freezer
Last week's menu did not factor in a certain little bear falling ill. The noble, and brave Beloved stepped in and provided meals during this time.
The first items to be added will be soups, most likely tomato and lentil, and also French-ish onion soup. On the Monday, (our usual day for going food shopping, the convenience foods will be added, pizza, scampi, sausage, hash browns etc - all so useful for the days when cooking is not an option. There will also be the basics, like chicken, fish and mash. There will be ice cream.
