Well, that didn't go exactly according to plan but, it worked out well enough.  No one went hungry and we enjoyed some good meals.

In addition, I cooked some food for daughter to take back with her - 2 beef shoulder steaks cut up and cooked with bell peppers and onions (what I am calling pepper steak), 2 beef shoulder steaks cut up and curried, sauteed mixed vegetables (broccoli, cauliflowers, carrots, and green beans), dhal curry, parsley mallung (finely shredded parsley sauteed with grated coconut, minced onions and garlic, green chilies, and turmeric, plus salt, of course).  And rice, Plus two curried pork chops and sliced ham that were already in the freezer.

I had taken out and thawed a package of what I thought were chicken thighs, but, which turned out to be a ham bone, so, I boiled that to make a broth which will be made into soup, later.  I had double bagged the ham bone, writing ham bone on the inner bag and reusing a washed freezer bag on which I had previously written "chicken thighs", which led to the confusion.  

Moving on to this week, here's the meal plan for June Week 2:

Brunches:  Rice, leftover sausage stir fry, dhal, and mallung (daughter, on Monday); rice, beef curry, dhal, and mallung (me, on Monday); yogurt with treacle and cashews; cereal with milk; peanut butter toast; French toast, scrambled eggs and toast

Dinners:  Bacon cheeseburger with sweet potato fries and cucumber slices (Monday); pepper steak with mixed vegetables (Tuesday); rice, beef curry, lentils, and mallung; leftover lasagna and salad; leftovers

Snacks/Desserts: Fresh fruit, the last of the peach cobbler, Cheetos, crackers and peanut butter, granola bars, yogurt

Since I am posting this late on Tuesday night, I've already eaten Monday and Tuesday's meals.
