this wasn't in the plan |but life is still pretty good

Last week, you may have noticed, I did not post a weekly menu. By the time we returned from our trip, I just never got around to it. When I went to the store, I didn't even make a list. Chicken was on sale, so I'd pick up some of that and we'd have chicken for dinner. What exactly I'd do with the chicken each night would be determined at a later time. It was a fly by the seat of my pants week as far as dinner goes and I didn't like it. I like to have it planned in advance so there's as little thinking as possible required when it comes time to make dinner. If I decide I don't feel like that particular meal, at least I can choose from a few other things that I had planned for the week. So of course this week I made up a menu and a grocery list. And then left the list in the car. I so should have gone back for it, because I forget tostada shells and red enchilada sauce. Guess there will be no tostadas or enchiladas in our immediate future. So I now need to rack my brain to find two more things for this week. Why is it so hard to come up with things to eat for dinner?
