He’s going to be disappointed!

You sound to be one of those very organised people Sago for which I salute you, I never know from day to day what I’ll do next.
If moving house in a few weeks then your DH will have to take pot luck as you use up whatever’s in the freezer.

Couldn’t cope with a weekly meal plan
With a husband who is a compulsive shopper. Sometimes it’s like the old TV program “ Ready steady cook “
Also it’s what you feel like on the day

We'll have to eat our way through the freezer in the New Year before we have a new kitchen and smaller fridge/freezer.

I never plan in advance for a week, perhaps I should.

Butter chicken mmm!
Never made dhal but he does like veggie Indian dishes.

He was happy with the dhal, it was an exceptionally good one, enough left over for lunch tomorrow.

I love a dhal, sounds yummy, but obvs is not butter chicken.
However if he finds it all too overwhelming you could ask him to take you out for dinner.
Always a plan.

Yes, manage expectations!

I went to a friend's house just before their house move.
She told me the weird combinations they had been eating from their freezer.

She drew the line at the last remaining 8 items!

He could be living off the interest from his savings. That alone must be a huge amount.
