Weekly Menu Planning - May 2026

Almost May! Only 4 more weeks till BERLIN!!! :partying_face: :woman_dancing:t2::partying_face: :woman_dancing:t2:

Meanwhile, the weather in Central Penna has turned to utter shite — cold and rainy for the foreseeable future. Might be a few soups on deck…

We ate reasonably well on our brief excursion to get my PIC’s heart fixed up, and very happy to be back home. We celebrated his brand-new stent with a fine double smashburger from a creamery en route, which means lighter fare for dinner.

I’d been eyeing this mushroom soup for a while now, and it’ll be our meal tonight.

Ima omit the milk & flour however, and use crème fraîche instead of sour cream. Ain’t nobody got time for tempering and such — plus if I need it thickened I can always add a lil cornstarch slush :wink:

Tomorrow might be one of several pieces of fish from the freezer we scored at the 50% off sale a couple weeks ago. There’s a filet of king salmon, steelhead trout, and Arctic Char IIRC, but I’d have to check The Freezer Below to be sure. Side might be asparagus if my dude allows it :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:, or steamed broc.

Friday TBD.

Saturday one of my gal pals is celebrating the big Five Oh & is throwing a bash, where presumably food will be served. Fingers crossed!

Sunday my bandmates are coming over to work on 3 Fiona Apple tunes we used to do but haven’t in a very long while, plus a Peggy Lee ditty. Should be fun. Personally, I’d be up for another hot-as-ballz Indian curry or Thai curry — we’ll see what we’re in the mood for.

Monday possibly lohikeitto or some other tasty & satisfying soup.

Tuesday is Cinco de Mayo, North America’s 2nd favorite culturally appropriated holiday, so my guess is shrimp tacos or a chicken 'dilla & my boo’s mahvelous mahgaritas will make an appearance @casa lingua. We are nothing if not predictable :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

That’s it for now. Wishing everyone a lovely week ahead. Keep your loved ones close, ignore the idjits, and eat all the good tings :black_heart:
