Whatโ€™s for Dinner Tonight?

Wrapping up the loose ends on this end.
The house chores are down to those normal daily tasks with the last hopefully accomplished the night before I leave. Found a close bodega to buy ice which Iโ€™d worried needlessly would be hard to come by. Started tracking the cost of an Uber to the Amtrak station; going to be an โ€œouch!โ€ moment but still beats taking an airplane. Need to go to the bank and take out cash to tip the building staff- wouldnโ€™t it be nice to just Zelle them? Certainly easier.
Got to pack clothes in the suitcase but waiting for a delivery tomorrow.

Rooted through the existing foodstuff and decided to make a salad Niรงoise, easy peasy and most every ingredient on hand. No fresh tomatoes but I do have some roasted ones and that will suit fine. A sliced apple and some mixed nuts for dessert.
 

We're getting a bit more organized around here this week. It helps that I've had jury duty but have been out by noon each day. Monday I made a white chicken chili with rice, rolls, bagged salad. Tuesday DD and I were out for supper so SIL/DH/8yo had omelets, english muffins, and fruit. Wednesday I made an american chop suey casserole with parmesan pull-aparts and salad, and tonight we had an Asian-style veggie soup (miso broth from Trader Joe's, tofu, baby bok choi, carrots, red pepper, water chestnuts, udon noodles, scallions, celery). I worked until 9pm so did all the prep this morning, then DD boiled up the broth, dropped in the veg, and voila! Supper!! Not sure what they had with it, I was content with just the soup. TOmorrow night will be pizza, as it's "decorate the Christmas tree" night!
 
We had โ€œMexicanโ€ too. It was a thrown together casserole using the leftover stuffed peppers from a couple of nights ago. I chopped those up with some taco seasoning, a can of kidney beans, some pepper jack cheese, salsa and tortillas. I โ€œlasagnaedโ€ it making two layers. Baked it until the cheese melted and it tasted pretty good to me!
 
Didnโ€™t get the parcel delivery until late so suitcase packing is for the morrow. DGD arrives on Wednesday so itโ€™s really on. Have a few last minute runs for to her make but since they are Manhattan stores sheโ€™ll be happy, lol.

Tonight, itโ€™s the salad Nicoise leftovers with avocado added to bulk it up. The vegetable bin is getting increasingly empty.
