How do you guys plan food for Friday - Sunday? I’m especially interested in cooking fresh produce but almost always have food waste

I have dishes that work as kitchen sink type meals. So fried rice, for example, can be about any protein, veg, and herb/spice mixed together, and flavored to be complementary.

I cooked together leftover cabbage, ground pork, egg, ketchup, and miso and it turned out great.

I use the meal delivery services a lot. Sun-basket, hello fresh, etc.

Plan meals that can freeze well. Leftovers go to freezer. Alternatively, freeze uncooked leftover produce as a soup base for next weekend.

I buy small amounts of basic, foundational ingredients (ex. Eggs, ground pork, garlic, green onions, cornstarch, spinach, cooking oil) to use for those three days and plan recipes around it. Then, I add other supplemental sauces and spices with long shelf life.

Friday: ground pork noodle soup with spinach. Mix some pork with cornstarch. Fry with garlic, and green onions. Take out the pork. Leave some oil. Add water and noodles. Separately make some red chili paste, soy sauce, and sesame oil mix with green onions. Pour out noodles and soup mixture. Add pork mix. Sauté the spinach and add it to the noodle soup. Fry an egg and add to the soup.

Saturday: pork sausage, eggs, maybe hash browns, pancakes

Sunday: stir fry with rice or noodles, spinach, pork, green onions, etc

I try to use up all or most of the perishable ingredients I buy. Sometimes I’ll freeze meats if I have to.

Have people received inflationary raises? My dad received a letter stating that they’re giving him a 6.5% raise + a one time lump sum of $750 bc of inflation, retroactive to July 1st. He works for a university and is part of a union. Kind of feel like my company is being shady because I work in CRE & we do raises + bonuses in February which was when I was planning to ask for an inflationary raise. But I feel like a lot of companies have done this without having their employees ask?

Accepted an offer of employment with a mid-sized firm to begin in a couple of months. I’ve always wanted to shoot for big law but haven’t had the opportunity thus far. Overall, I accepted because I didn’t want to take the opportunity for granted in addition to the uncertainty with hiring due to covid. Would it be an issue to shoot for a big law opportunity in the interim? I know how this looks and sounds, so I definitely don’t want to set a precedent that I deal in bad faith.
