Working Girl: What's for Dinner

Thank heaven I plan menus. My recent re-entry into the work force is kicking my arse. If 4 o'clock rolled around every day and I had to start thinking about what to make for dinner I would probably find parts of my brain snapping off.

I'm keeping it pretty simple this week. One night last week we actually ate take away pizza because the chicken wasn't thawed in time and I was too tired to improvise. Take away has it's merits but it's a little early in the game to get sucked down that path.
