The meal plan options were mostly followed with a bit of extra tweaking, here and there.  There were an abundance of pastries this week - most of them were savory pastries, but, there were some sweet ones, too!

Moving on to the current week (which we've already started); I'm calling it September Week 4 (9/21 - 9/27).  Here are my meal plan options:

Brunches:  Raisin buns, cup noodles soup, meal replacement drinks (dental work on Monday), Thai fried rice, congee, leftovers

Dinners:  Thai fried rice, cup noodles soup, rice and curries (the curries will vary from day to day, but, chosen from the following options - omelette curry; meatball curry; chicken curry;  sauteed kale, sauteed cabbage, spicy sauteed potatoes, fried eggplant curry, moringa curry, stir fried broccoli, maybe dhal), leftovers. 

Snacks/Desserts: Fresh fruit, mooncakes, yogurt, ice cream, cookies

As always, I am grateful for the blessing of having plenty of food to eat, variety, and choices.  

How about you?  Did you make a meal plan for the second week in September?  If so, did you follow the plan?  Did/are you making a meal plan for this week in September?
