. . . but its all good, we'll still be having an Asian dinner that doesn't take much of my time. As it turned out, both daughters will be out with the car in the early evening on Sunday. If I waited for them to come home and then go get the takeout, we'd be eating dinner around 7:30. I think I've got this covered.
Here's my plan:
On Monday I cooked up some stir-fry beef and onions. When it finished cooking, I could tell it was way more than the 4 of us would eat, so I froze about third of the cooked meat. Today I bought frozen egg rolls, ready to heat and eat, some Asian stir-fry veggies, a tub of tofu, and some whole wheat spaghetti pasta. I'll make a beef and tofu chow mien-type main dish with the noodles, meat, tofu, and frozen veggies, then have egg rolls on the side. It should be quick and easy to throw together. Not including the cost of the already cooked meat, I spent $11.50. That's not bad compared to what I was prepared to spend for takeout Chinese. So, I'm happy with it.
Have you needed to modify any of your holiday plans somewhat last-minute this year? Wishing you well as your finalize all of your work ahead of Christmas!
