Weekly Menu Planning - October 2025

Still cooking for two w̶i̶l̶d̶ ̶&̶ ̶c̶r̶a̶z̶y̶ mildly interesting middle-aged folks in HV.

Tonight was a stir-fry with various leftovers combined with bits & bobs from the fridge.

Tomorrow is Spicy Sunday, so I’ll either make a hot-as-ballz Thai red curry, or this recipe from the NYT.

Monday night a friend of mine is hosting another State of the Story (a moth-type event), and several peeps I know are telling a story, so dinner is up in the air — maybe something from the halal cart parked right next door to the venue, or I’ll make myself a sammich on fab ciabatta a gal pal gifted me yesterday.

Tuesday I have an early evening, 1-hr duo gig at a “Speakeasy” themed dinner, which means I have no time or interest in making dinner. My PIC’s turn, so no idear

Wednesday is my PIC’s long day, and it’ll be a cold one. I’m torn between a shrimp & corn chowder or that tortellini soup Lulusmom made recently.

Thursday is a bit too far off at this time. If my gal pals don’t get together Monday, I might organize a get-together.

Friday or Saturday might be the poker game that never happened this weekend bc of these two guys :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Sunday is another potluck I organize regularly for my local cooking group — probz the last one of the year, what with all the holidays coming up. I’ve not yet decided what to make, but Mississippi roast is a possible candidate.
