This week is known as “get my tail in gear” week.  Of course Thanksgiving is a mere 11 days away, and a couple of days before that my in-laws will be here.  My house is NOWHERE near ready for company.  They won’t be staying here at the house, but dinner will be here if nothing else.  But that’s next week’s problem.  This week I have a few small things to take care of but nothing drastic.

Monday: 
Orange Pork Stir-fry
reality: A last minute need to go to town necessitated (ok, not really, but it was a heck of a lot more convenient) eating out.  I’m pushing Monday to Tuesday, Tuesday to Thursday, and Thursday to Saturday, leaving Wednesday and Friday alone and scrapping the taquitos altogether.

Tuesday:
Alex Guarnaschelli’s Marinated Skirt Steak Burritos (but with sirloin)
reality: pork stir-fry

Wednesday:
Lemon Garlic Tilapia
reality: ate out? don’t remember

Thursday:
Hungarian Goulash
reality: to each their own

Friday:
basic cheeseburgers, fries
reality: Alex’s steak but not as burritos

Saturday:
pre-made taquitos, rice & beans
reality: ate out after cleaning all day

Sunday:
Carla Hall’s Garlicky Meatloaf (I love The Chew, haven’t seen a dish yet I wouldn’t want to try.)
reality: cheeseburgers for those who didn’t end up in the ER (I took Chris for a bad scald on his foot; the kids and mom ate burgers, we scrounged later)
