service by e-mail. Anybody know of one?

You mean you need someone to tell what to eat and when?
Isn't that what mothers are for? Planning ahead takes the
fun out of cooking and eating,
IMO.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but of what benefit is such a
service? Ed

www.savingdinner.com Look for the menu mailer link (low carb
and regular versions available). Comes in your email once a
week complete with shopping list. The menus are reasonably
healthy and the recipes are usually very good.

Such a service would allow for better budgeting as You could
get possibly all the stuff you'd need excepting perishables,
on sale. Or save time by grocery shopping in one swoop.
You'd could organize better. Like defrost everthing that's
frozen, chop, slice and brown the night before etc..

I prefer my method though...getting what looks good at the
market on the way home. And stocking various ingredients for
fast foods incase nothing looks good or I feel lazy. And
doing major meal or fancy meals on the week ends when I have
more time. But If I had kids or other people depending on my
cooking I'd like a planned menu better.

Some folk have the same breakfasts all of the lives with
little or no change. Some have a 8 or 10 item supper menu
that repeats...So a monthly meal menu might be a good idea
and help to indroduce new tastes etc...

Wednesday night might not need to be meatloaf supper
night anymore.

That would be a reason *not* to use such a service. How
would the service know what's on sale or not?

That's what I do too. I keep enough on hand to tide me over
for a few days, but often I decide during the daywhat's for
dinner that night. And shop the sales often.

Like today: 15lbs of $.69/lb brisket.

Perhaps, but I don't need a service to tell me that.

We plan some things ahead, like a dinner with friends or
holiday meal. OTOH, last week we had house guests for a
few days. I knew what the meat was going to be, but not
the rest of the meal. A trip to the local farmer's market
that opened at 4 decided the rest. We bought what was
fresh that day.

I think my wife married me to escape pasta on Sunday,
Tuesday, Thursday. That went on for YEARS in her house.
Minor variations on the meat in the sauce.

There are plenty of things in life we must do on a
particular schedule set by others. What to eat for dinner is
not one of them. A little spontaneity makes life much more
fun. We had friends over today. I called them this
afternoon. "Hey, I'm cooking a chicken, come on over" was
met with "OK, I'm making macaroni salad so I'll bring it."
Grabbed the snow peas and a meal was born and enjoyed. Ed
