tired of Mom's Pasta and tomato sauce preventing me from making my own on Thursday for Free- for all Suppers
Background:
Mostly on Thursdays (but someone on Wed or Tuesday), it's a free-for-all supper for Dad and I. I mostly cook for myself. But due to this I have limited options for my Thursdays suppers. Mac and Cheese, Ramyeon (Ramen), microwave chili, eggs & toast, canned soup, or frozen dinners. An item I should have for Thursday but I can't have is Pasta and tomato sauce.
Story:
The problem is whenever week I plan to make pasta and tomato sauce in the same week Mom makes it for the family . So it means I can't make it myself on the Thursday and I haven't practice this dish since sometime in Dec, if not Nov of 2025. Since outside of cheese sandwiches I don't like eating the same thing again in the same week after Mom makes it. Mom claims she doesn't have a lot of options, but she has more options basically outside of sloppy joes, taco pockets, and Pizzas (my Friday cooking), she has all the other options. (ie crab cakes, or alfred lingue, everything bagel casserole), or potato wedges and chicken or fish strips. I don't have those options and I'm don't want to have the last item because I don't want to cook for 2 people on Thursday when I make supper for 3 on Fridays, and I don't want to use the oven for just one person.
It's just I'm tired of this constantly being a problem that every 2nd week Mom's tomato sauce and pasta lands on the same week that I want to make my own tomato sauce and pasta on Thursday night. So I haven't been able to practice that dish for myself for months due to this being a problem. And I have leftovers of tonight's tomato sauce for Thursday but I want one week to make it myself. on Thursday so i can pratice but how can I pratice when I never get chances to do it because of this problem?
(freezing my own tomato sauce isn't an option, I don't cook outside of the Thursday and Friday, and as I said, I don't like having the same thing twice in one week-unless there's leftovers pizza or kidney beans, or Quiche-outside of cheese sandwiches and that makes me upset. When I keep having to change my plans because of Pasta and tomato sauce. Unless I make the pasta and tomato sauce next week, for myself, and then I can go back to my normal Thursday suppers between then and June)
