Out of the loop

This is the first time in many, many years that I haven’t seen any of the movies nominated for Best Picture. I’ve seen very few of the nominated movies overall, in fact. We did see “The Dark Knight,” “Bolt,” “Wall-E” and “Happy-Go-Lucky.” But I think that’s it. And two of those, I didn’t like one bit.

Menu + an unrelated query

Menu Plan Monday logoI must’ve been in a very lazy state of mind when I made this week’s menu, because it is heavy on the EZ meals.

Monday: Tacos
I made the ground beef for this on Friday, when we had Mexican pizza. So I’ll have very little to do tonight beyond warming things up.

Tuesday: Mac ‘n’ cheese for the kids; leftover Orange Chicken for me

Wednesday: Huevos Rancheros
Rockford loves breakfast for dinner, and I love Mexican food. This might turn out to be our perfect meal.

Thursday: Fish sticks
I may get fancy and put mine on a bun.

Friday: Dinner out

Now, this has nothing to do with dinner. But I’m asking you here anyway, because it’s on my mind this morning. Rockford and I are 30. We have two children. I’m thinking it might be time to trade the futon in for a big-people sofa. What do you think?
