We’ve still got frost during the night and there was sleet when we were skinny dipping at the beach this morning, so spring is dragging its heels…gah! But, hey, it’s Thursday – alias “Little Friday” – and the weekend is fast approaching. So all is well! 🙂
My grocery spend for the four of us this week was Danish kr. 1.129 (roughly UK £127 or US $201. Here’s the menu at Casa Copenhagen this week:
* Homemade wholemeal lasagne (layers of meat sauce, cheese and lots of veggies)
* Swedish meatballs (who doesn’t love IKEA?!), with pan-fried leftover sliced potatoes, garlic, rosemary and sugar snap peas
* Osso bucco – it was on offer at the supermarket, will do it in the crockpot and serve with couscous with lemon and parsley
* Takeaway sushi – on the night that DH and DD9 are out, as a special treat for me and DS12. Poor us, we haven’t had any since his birthday in December… ;D
* Salade nicoise: salad leaves, boiled egg, tuna, tomatoes, beans and warm pita bread on the side
* Whole chicken, cooked in my crockpot, served with risotto made in my ricecooker – on the day that I’m popping over to Sweden with my two bffs. Will be nice to come home to find food ready and waiting 🙂
* Leftover night – which is basically pasta and any leftover meat and veggies. And a pile of Danish klatkager (small pancakes made out of leftover rice or leftover rice pudding) for dessert.
Bon appétit!
Have a thoroughly thrilling Thursday! 🙂
