Menu program

Some design analysis/thoughts for what I want it to accomplish:

1. Screen to select meals. On the screen I want to see:
  • How many times this was selected in the last week. We eat lots of pastas, so 2 - 3 times a week is good. We eat Dirty Rice, but once a week is the best.
  • Estimated cost of meal. Don't want a week of $20 meals.
  • Start date and end date of the menu.
  • Some indicator that we have the ingredients on-hand - Keeps stuff fresh
  • Ought to show ingredents on hand for menu item - such as different types of pasta on the shelf, or types of Waffles, or types of toaster strudel.
  • Need to select which day the menu is for - M to S.

2. Screen to input new menu items. It'll need plenty of places for ingredents.

3. Output is 2 lists, one for the fridge that shows the day and meals for the day, and a shopping list of stuff I need to either get or check to see if I need to get from the store.

Looks like a lot of this will be database work. So where's Python's db?
