Sunday we did have chicken - thighs roasted with garlic - and last night we did have lasagna.
Tonight, I stopped by the Grand Mart, but no fresh fish/seafood caught my fancy. I did buy some frozen monkfish for tomorrow.
I also bought some wonton wrappers to make this awesome appetizer: Wonton Wrapped Mozzarella.
I cut my string cheese into quarters and wrapped mine a bit differently - but they were AWESOME.
For actual "dinner", TMOTH went and got Chinese food. Yum.

Two days without cooking dinner
Last night was karate night, and we were able to get a table at the pizza joint. Plenty of leftovers for lunches as well.
Tonight is the Cub Scout Blue & Gold banquet, and all I have to provide is some dessert to share. I'll be making cupcakes later today. I *KNOW* we have cupcake liners in the house, because The Lovely Daughter and I bought about 3 packages at Michaels last weekend. But can I find them? Of course not. So a trip to the grocery is also in order.
Menus for next week:
Sunday: Chicken
Monday: Lasagna (as long as I remember to take it out of the freezer!)
Tuesday: Shrimp, rice
Wednesday: Steak
Thursday: Pork tenderloin

pancakes
According to the Karate Kid, this week is "butter week" in Russia, and pancakes are eaten to celebrate the coming of spring. So tonight - pancakes!

Lots of eating out
It's been so busy - we've eaten out quite a bit.
Thursday I was home with a migraine, but had recovered quite a bit by supper-time, so made a lovely cracker-crusted cod with broccoli on the side.
Friday - karate night - and our regular pizza place was PACKED. They recently passed a referendum in that little town that allowed restaurants to serve beer and wine, and they just started. Hopefully the novelty will die down and we can eat there again soon. Since we had to have the middle kid through dinner in time for karate, and The Lovely Daughter was with us, we split up. The boys all went to McDonalds (TMOTH took one for the team there) and TLD and I went to the Chinese restaurant down the strip mall from the pizza place. It was absolutely AWESOME. The Chinese place near karate that had gotten rave reviews was just awful the one time we had takeout, so I wasn't expecting much, but this place was really good. TLD and I shared some General Tso's tofu, and it was just right.
Saturday night TLD's boyfriend was around, and we had leftover lamb stew (and TLD had leftover tofu).
Tonight was a dog-and-pony show for Tulane in Tyson's Corner, VA, and TLD and I wound up eating Mexican food for dinner. I think those leftovers are still in the car - the only bonus I can think of for weather this cold is that I don't have to worry about them going bad because it's so dang cold.
Not planning the menu for last week really put a kink in the process. Not a good idea. So for next week:
Monday: Beef shish-kebab [it's quilt guild night for me]
Tuesday: Pasta
Wednesday: Grilled chicken [we may have snow :(]
Thursday: Burgers, maybe - TMOTH may have to cook since I have to take TLD to the airport, plus it's woodturning night for TMOTH
Friday: Karate night
