Well, not really, but the alliteration was needed.
Do you or did you ever have any meal rituals that are always done on a specific day of the week?
Growing up, breakfast on Monday/Wednesday were always eggs and bacon, Tuesday/Thursday were always cereal in the summer and oatmeal in the winter, Friday was breakfast burritos, Saturday was donuts and Sunday was bagels or croissants.
Not any more, now that Chemical cooks for me (and thus determines my diet).
Typically what I do is spend a lot of money for the first shopping week of the month. For example I would get steaks, ribs, or a lobster, or tiger shrimp....
Damnit I'm hungry now.
Sunday dinner. roast bok-bok ftw.
Fridays used to be cheeseburgers with maccaroni and cheese night.
oh my gosh.
my parents have been eating taco salad every monday straight, barring maybe four mondays, for the last TWO YEARS.
I all but begged my mom to please cook something besides taco salad just once, but she never did, so I stopped eating it.
sunday morning = bacon + eggs/waffles and sometimes biscuits. saturday night = takeout
steaks are usually wednesday (right after grocery tiem), macaroni is usually with pork chops, but sometimes greens and usually on tuesday.
No, I prefer not to have planned meals in such a fashion. It makes me feel like I'm back at a school cafeteria.
Sundays are still roast dinner and thursdays are my mum's days off so she usually cooks then.
Wednesdays - macaroni cheese
Fridays - my parents and brother nearly always have steak but I don't eat beef, so for me it varies.
Saturday - takeaway, usually chinese or indian. Mostly the former as it is closer, and opens earlier, but I prefer the latter - even though I love both. :love:
Sunday - Sunday Roast/Chili/Curry. Always one of the three, never anything else. :jess:
Friday - chippy tea! I always order a large split, which is only something you can order here in St Helens, a split is chips and peas. There is even a song about a chippy tea on Friday by a band from my town.
Sunday - Sunday dinner, doesn't everyone have them? I don't really like them though :p
I go mad if I miss chippy tea though, which I seem to do alot.
Friday is almost always Pizza night, I adore it. The few times we don't have pizza, we usually have Chinese or rarely Wendy's/McDonald's/BK.
How weird, my mom is making Taco's right now. :p
My family and I aren't real big fans of have a scheduled lifestyle. We're spur of the moment type people. I usually don't know what I'm gonna be eating until like half an hour or so before I start eating.
Given how most things I make take no more then 20 Min, (And thats only when I have the energy to nuke a bowl of rice in this crappy microwave) so thats the longest between me eating and knowing what I'm going to eat. :
Generally it's more like 5 minutes.
Unless you count knowing I'm going to be eating chicken at work, as they give it to me for free every day I work, in which case weeks in advance. :p
Taco Tuesdays. The chow hall here on base has a taco bar here every Tuesday. It is delicious.
What if it takes an hour to prepare? :pQuote:

I'm pretty sure most of the north west does them :PQuote:

Friday night is usually when we eat out somewhere, since that's also grocery night, so my parents are in town anyway.
Saturday most of the time is pizza night, either from a restaurant, from frozen pizzas, or home made (which usually is the best).
No, we've never had anything like that. Sometimes my dad'll cook a more fancy dinner on Fridays, but that's not really a ritual.. it's just him feeling like doing so.
Used to have Sunday Dinners, with lamb and mint sauce and all the trimmings.
Freaky Pizza Friday imho.
