What’s for Dinner Tonight?

Yesterday I asked DW if she would like her DGrMother's vegetable soup for dinner for tonight to which she replied yes so after I finished a short 8.88 mile bicycle ride this morning I proceeded to go food shopping for the ingredients. Began the assembly/cooking process at 6:50am while DW was still sleeping and by the time she woke up at 8:00 there was only about 45 minutes longer for the soup to mature for its cooking completion.

I made her pancakes for breakfast and after a bit I gave her a small amount of the soup to sample for her taste review. Got the :thumbsup2:thumbsup2 so I filled one container for our 86yo neighbor and brought it to her still warm, have 5 more in our freezer and her dinner is in the fridge waiting for a reheat at 5pm today.

For me it's my Curry Sardines from last night.
 

Last night's veggie strudel was very good- it got high praise from the crew here! I made two. Both had mushroom, asparagus, leek, and red pepper filling, one with smoked cheddar cheese and one with ricotta. We used the leftover braised short rib gravy or a mustard bechemal I made as a topping/dunk.

Tonight we will have unexpected cheddar sausages from Trader Joe's with mashed potato cakes (I'm winging it here) and either fresh green beans or frozen peas, whatever I get to making. i think maybe I'll make some applesauce, too. I think it would go with the meal and we have about 8 apples hanging around here, looking pretty tired.
 
Tonight we went to the movies with my parents, niece, nephews to see Moana 2. Well, some of us went to Moana. Some went to the very similar, Gladiator 2! 🤣
Dinner had to be quick, easy and please a crowd so it was pizza. The menu SAID New York style but…😂. Good try, I suppose. It was good pizza. NY style, it was not. My kids look at those slices like they’re the appetizer!
 
I'm making a big pot of vegetable soup. We'll eat it tonight with peanut butter sandwiches, then I'm going to freeze individual portions for DS to eat after we leave. I also made borscht one night & froze enough for a couple meals. By the time we remembered to freeze the gnocchi, mushroom & spinach soup, we were afraid it may have gone bad. :(
