Tonight is "stammtisch" night. We meet up with friends at the same local restaurant every Wednesday. We have been doing this since the kids were young - very fun. It's where everybody knows your name. All the employees celebrate milestones with us - birthdays, anniversaries, first drivers license, etc. My kids' school pictures were up on the wall for years.

Leftovers. 4 adults- H, me plus guest woman grad student, M-in-law currently for this month. Some mac'n'cheese, eggplant Indian style, green (whole mung) dal, rice. Every "man" for him/herself. Every person capable of cooking for themselves- some of us for everyone (think experienced mothers/wives). It has been nice to have 4 instead of 2 to cook for, but after a few days time for a break, even for someone who likes to cook. The guest is learning about different foods- something I have learned over the decades of marriage.

I've been sitting at the dealership for repairs for over 5hrs, I'm over an hour from home, add 30-45min for traffic if I don't get out of here soon. It's not likely anything is going to happen with that chicken in the fridge. Luckily I just remembered there's a Trader Joes on the way home. I rarely go because its not in my usual direction, but tonight I think I'll pick up something prepared/semi prepared. Any Trader Joe regulars with suggestions for something yummy but quick? We're not picky eaters. About the only thing DH & the kids won't eat is tofu.

Chicken sausage (whatever flavor you like) with onions and sweet red peppers. Pizzas...Marinated beef with rice...frozen penne with arrabiata ...raviolis...with pesto sauce sauce, cookies for dessert...microwave veggies....

..........oh, and a stop at the wine section...I think you deserve it.

Since it's snowing, I got to leave work early so my plan for a pizza dinner is scuttled. Now I'm thinking about shepherd's pie and some warm rolls - hearty food for wintertime.

I will do my super easy spaghetti tonight: Barilla Marinara from a jar, Costco organic ground beef, and right before serving a few spoonfuls of cream in the sauce -- makes it taste like a bolognese. Then a dish of olives, green salad with tarragon dressing. No bread! Ice cream bar for dessert.

Pork chops, onions, carrots and tomatoes baked in oven with green beans.

I was planning to have mil's matzoh ball soup with salad for dinner, but since it snowed today I feel like something heartier. It's 5pm and I have no idea! Maybe I'll send H out for takeout........along with the soup!

We had a great dinner! When we go to Epcot, one of our favorite quick serve places is the bakery in Norway: Kringla. They have a ham and apple sandwich that is just delicious. My D found a recipe for it online. So, we had Kringla sandwiches, salad with apples, cranberries, candied walnuts, and blue cheese with a raspberry dressing and sweet potato fries. The sandwich came very close to the original. Yumm.......
