Third and last day of my 'weekend' today so I really had to do some meal prepping for a 7 day stint on the bridge, starting tomorrow. I didn't feel like cooking at all but hey ho.
So far I have made a small meatloaf to be eaten on monday and tuesday, which will go into the freezer after cooling. Or maybe fridge, I don't expect it will go off before tuesday night. Lots of onion and grated cheese in the meatloaf, and cream to make it a bit wetter.
Currently there are stuffed bell peppers in the oven, half a red one and half a yellow one, to be eaten on sunday. I used the meatloaf mixture to stuff the peppers, before I added the cream because the peppers will add moisture when cooking.
I made a lazy tomato soup with small meatballs (yes, same mixture again
) to be eaten on wednesday and thursday, will freeze and add cream after thawing.
I made a tomato and onion salad to be eaten today and tomorrow, and when the bell peppers are done I'll put a pack of spareribs in the oven, half for today, half for tomorrow, and I'll fry some oyster mushrooms to go with them.
The only cooking needing to be done during the work week will be putting two cobs of corn in the oven on sunday evening to be eaten monday and tuesday with my meatloaf.
So the only day on the bridge I haven't planned for will be friday, but after six days of real food I can eat crackers and cheese or such.
Cooking on work days isn't going to happen: I leave home at 7:45 am, go for a quick swim on my way to work and start the bridge at 9 am. On the bridge until 8 pm (with two hours break) so not home before 9:30 at the earliest.
At least I'll have a little more time in the evenings from 1 September on, the bridges close at 7 pm, giving me an extra hour at home.
