The big news of this weekend was that on Saturday afternoon I crept back into the gym. When I swiped my card I almost expected the turnstile to do whatever the turnstile equivalent of keeling over in shock might be. I went on the treadmill and did some running and rather more walking (I've kicked off yet another attempt to complete the Couch to 5k programme) while listening to "Jar of Hearts" pretty much on repeat - I like angsty songs when I'm exercising.
And what's on the menu this week? Well, tonight I will spending in Liverpool (for work rather than pleasure unfortunately) and D will be fending for himself and then tomorrow night I have requested a welcome home dinner of roasted chicken breast with lemon couscous.
Wednesday - Spag Bol
Thursday - cumin spiced chicken, creamy lentil dahl and zero point mushroom curry (the point of this meal is to provide something that the collection of naan bread we have accumulated in the freezer can be used to mop up the sauces).
Friday - D is out, so prick and ping for me.
Saturday - the current plan, local butchers' stock allowing, is to roast some spiced quail and then tear it apart with our fingers in a pleasingly primitive manner.
Sunday - Rabbit in mustard - which will almost certainly be served with some lovely, buttery mashed potatoes.
Don't forget to pop over to Mrs M's blog for more meal planning fun.
Prick and ping..... love it! :)

ReplyDeleteLauren - wish I could take credit for the phrase, but I read it on another blog eons ago and it just stuck :-))
ReplyDeleteRach and Steph - recipes will be posted this week, promise! The poor little blog has been a bit neglected lately and could do with some fun dishes to perk him up.

I like angsty songs too when working out. It just helps keep me in the zone!
