What's for dinner?

So, I've been trying to be a helpful roommate and getting stuff started, or at least assembled, for dinner. However, when I looked at the recipe for what we had planned for dinner, it said to marinade for 12 or more hours... oops... we didn't even pull the meat until this morning. Well, tomorrow night's dinner is one we have made before called "Pirate's Delight." It is a fish dish. Easy swap, for a change. Also, they had wanted a 6-8 pound pork loin and it feeds 6-8 people. There are just the two of us, and we're on a diet... We had pulled a big chop this morning, so what I did was adapt (read, put lots less than the amount of stuff) to make the marinade and poured it the ziplock to marinade until tomorrow. Since we weren't having pork tonight, we could have a meal with black pepper - I'm allergic to black pepper, but also allergic to pork and the two together are worse than either one by themselves. So, the roomie brought out an acorn squash and fixed it with Mrs. Dash, garlic and butter. Then, after that was started, I went and tracked down a couple of cod loins to start thawing. When we get 30 minutes in, we'll fix the fish and shove that in the oven too. I guess I need to think about a veggie, since the squash counts as a carb. Then, tomorrow we'll be more ready for dinner without the surprise!

That's all just way too complicated sounding to me. I did have roast pork with potato, carrot and peas with gravy and apple sauce yesterday and again tonight. It was so delicious. I will make a curry with the leftover pork and that will probably do me another 4 meals.

It can be, but it was an easy switch. We have decided to do tomorrows carb today and then do long grain and wild rice for tomorrow. ooo need to type up tomorrow's recipe so the roomie can read it...

We sat down and made a menu up for the next 2 weeks so we could shop for what we needed and know what we are fixing. It was the marinade that messed us up today. Guess we need to look at the menu the day before so we can plan on marinading...
