I've never really grasped the concept of assigning a certain dish to each day of the week. Monday - Meatloaf!, Tuesday - Tacos! Wednesday - Porkchops! And so on. It seems like it would get real boring real fast. I do know people who have a "rotation" who cycle a finite number of recipes over and over throughout a month. I can't fathom that kind of stifling organization in my cooking. It would take all the fun out of it.
We get the grocery store ads in the mail on Tuesday which I examine for sales, and based on what's on sale and what I have in the freezer and cupboards I sort of, kind of, plan menus for about 4 days' worth of meals. I'm off work 4 nights a week and even if my husband is working and doesn't get home until midnight, I cook some sort of dinner. I try to make enough food so there will be leftovers for him to eat on the 3 nights a week I'm working. And sometimes when we're both home at the same time, I don't feel like cooking and we have Chinese food delivered.
Can no tradition be considered traditional? I suppose it could be: Traditionally we eat what I feel like cooking unless I don't feel like cooking and then we order in.
