What are you going to be?!
Answers: Eating on Good Friday?
fish and fries, that is the last day of meatless meals in our home...
They have awesome fried Catfish specials both in restaurants and in grocery stores, so I will stock up on fresh surplus in both places ;-)
a steak
Beer and Fries
chicken and rice
I ceratinly haven't planned my meals that far in advance. I'm lucky I know I'll have corned beef and cabbage on Mon. 3/17 for St. Patty's Day! I'll figure out next Friday's menu sometime next week!
Have you already planned your meals for 8 days from now?
