Meal planning is something I’ve done for decades. I don’t feel right if I don’t have at least a week of meals planned in advance. But I’ve learned not to restrict myself as to what day I serve which meal. Things don’t always work out for certain meals. Over the years I’ve discovered making a plan for a longer period gives me more flexibility for days when I don’t feel well or something exciting comes up to take me away from the kitchen. To give myself room for the unexpected I like to make a two week meal plan.

I have been meaning to do that. My Grandmother always had a set menu at her house.

I used to have my meal plan on the refrigerator but, now that I have this stupid spinal cord injury, I like to be able to move things around. And, of course, being empty nesters we are much more flexible!

I am very happy to hear that!
Re: your two-week meal plan, I make weekly ones. The reason is my favorite farmer market: I hit it once a week, and grab whatever is in season, looks good, and is on sale. Then I figure out what to do with the haul.

I do something similar in summer. I watch my garden and adjust what I’m making by what is ready to be harvested.

South Florida, actually South Beach, which is almost Cuba.

We didn’t stay long. We were in Miami on business. But I LOVE Florida! My parents had an apartment in Sarasota and I went there every chance I got!

Hop on the plane and come over! We’ll go sailing and cook whatever is caught on an outboard grille!
