darchildreI often browse recipe blogs while I don't have anything to do at work, trying to decide what my meal prep recipes are going to be for the upcoming weekend. I ideally like to have decided by Thursday so that I can make my shopping list/do kitchen inventory on Friday and then go shopping on Saturday and cook on Sunday. It's usually a good system and I do a pretty even mix of new recipes and standbys I've made a million times.
However, occasionally I'm browsing and I get stuck on a recipe that doesn't work for meal prep - usually because it doesn't keep well or doesn't scale well to making a large amount - but that suddenly becomes the only thing I want to eat in the world. And then I have to figure out how to fit that into my schedule so I can get it out of my system.
Today, it is this recipe for oyakodon. I don't know why this has happened; I don't even like eggs that much. And yet.
I'll have to make that for lunch on Saturday, I think.
ETA - I did make oyakodon on Saturday and it was delicious. Plus, despite halfing the recipe to make a single portion, it made enough for me to eat for two lunches. I'll have to add that to my weekend lunch plans more often.
