Beef stew

I scavenged the freezer today and found a "braising" steak, some chicken thighs, and some pork chops. The steak got cubed and cooked with onions, celery, and garlic for a couple of hours; then I added carrots and potatoes. Biscuits from Bisquik and salad to round out the meal (and, of course, mac & cheese for the kidlets).

Last night was leftover Chinese - the crispy fried tofu actually reheated a lot better than I thought it would; the sesame chicken was a lot worse.

Menu planning...
Tomorrow will be the chicken thighs in some sort of simmer sauce (I know there's a couple in the pantry) and Tuesday will be the pork chops, probably just grilled. Wednesday will be out. Thursday and Friday will be pizza or quesadillas and some sort of fish. Saturday I'll make bean soup, and Sunday will be on the fly.
