A Weekend Run to Lucky's and Marinade Recipe

I'm working this weekend, but it's also P's birthday! What to do? Grill tonight and lunch out tomorrow!

Lucky's Groceries $145.43
meat stock up (yes, I tend to only buy meat infrequently, but large amounts at a time) $50
3 pkg of chicken breast
2 pkg ground turkey
2 pkg ground pork
2 pkg of beef sirloin for stirfry/kabob
1 pkg tri tip steak
1 pkg pork chop

tofu x3
salad fixin' for dinner
cucumber, tomato, butter lettuce (p's favorite)
brocoli
mushrooms, pineapple for grilling
strawberries for snacking
pomegranate juice
OJ
soy milk x2
greek yogurt x2
hummus x2
pasta x4 (on sale, cheaper than Smart and Final prices!)
ranch dip mix
cream cheese x3
french fries

This is enough for:
mapa tofu x3
chili
grilled steak and kabob
pork chops

So definitely enough food for another 2 weeks, with maybe a veggie stock up in between.

Time to marinade and grill (clockwise from left: sangria, butter lettuce salad, grilled steak, french fries, grilled mushrooms and pineapple)

I made a steak marinade today for the tri tip:
-orange juice (tenderizes)
-sesame oil (small bit adds loads of flavor)
-soy sauce
-lime juice
-canola oil
soak the steak in for 6 hours!
