Today, well yesterday by the time I get this posted I finally did something with the cube steak that was thawing in the fridge. I put it into a baking dish and emptied a pack of onion soup mix on it, as well as some water to cover. I covered it with foil and put it back in the fridge.
Why’d I do that?
Chili-man was working from home today, so I intended to have him put it in a low oven around 2. Little did I know that he had a computer programming program advisory committee meeting this evening at Moore Norman Vo Tech. So, if I have him put it in the oven, well no one will be home later to eat it.
So, I decided to just ‘not’ tell him and cook it myself when I got back in. That way he can either eat it when he gets in or it’s dinner for tomorrow.
Planned menus don’t always work.
BUT they are still the BEST way to create a frugal menu plan. Plan your menus around items that need to be cooked, or items that are on sale. Just leave yourself some wiggle room. Because life just gets in the way sometimes.
