Tonight we had one pot chicken and rice with corn from the farm stand.

Made a charcuterie plate for dinner tonight and finished a bottle of Rioja with it. Dessert was a wedge of watermelon and a peach.

Made Skinnytaste chicken stroganoff with leftover eggplant tomato medley. It was pretty good!

The Christmas Boutique is equally fun & spectacular!

We love it, too! Rogers Gardens is such a gem!

Last night was bacon carbonara ravioli from Sam's, with crusty bread and bagged salad. The ravioli was OK... we'll definitely eat the second package but not sure I'd buy it again.

Tonight... I needed freezer space so I took out the 3L container of homemade chicken soup. Not sure that I'm in a soup mood, though. I might separate the veg from the broth, thicken the broth and make a chicken pot pie. Not sure, but that soup needs to be gone, soon. Hmmm... maybe I'll invite DD/SIL/LittleGuy over for supper on Friday night for Soup Night. Doesn't solve the problem for tonight's dinner but it'd use the soup!

QUESTION: Does anyone have any ideas for using up puff pastry? My sister just moved out of her apartment and her new space isn't ready yet, so we divided up some of the stuff from her freezer. I am now the 'proud owner' of 3 packages of Trader Joe's puff pastry. I have no good ideas of what to do with this, but I took it to help her out; she kept the other 3 packages. Yes, she might have a small 'hoarder' issue with food, hahaha!

Maybe try mini or individual chicken/turkey pot pies? I see from time to time a friend makes them with what looks like a puff pastry. I'd think chicken or turkey chunks, cream of chicken soup, frozen mixed veggies.

Happy to report, the pork and eggs are GONE!

My wife called an audible for tonight. Instead of chicken kabobs, she wants (and will cook) skin on chicken thighs. I assume with rice pilaf and a veggie. I'm excited for whatever it is, since I won't be cooking tonight

What does that mean?

“call an audible” means to change plans or make a last-minute decision based on new information or circumstances. It’s like pivoting when things don’t go as expected. The term comes from football where the quarterback can change the play at the line of scrimmage if they see something unexpected from the defense.

It just means she made a late change to the plans
