I recently got very tired of L. refusing to look at the menu I was about to post, yet having the temerity to complain when the food appeared in front of him. In advance of this week's menu planning, I handed him a sheet of paper. The premise being that, if he wrote down a week's worth of meals that he wanted to eat, I would cook them.
His menu is slightly more heavy on poultry and potatoes than I would like but a promise is a promise. Enjoy a 15-year old foodie's idea of a wonderful week of home cooked meals. Hopefully he won't notice that additional vegetables and salads have appeared here and there...
