What's for Dinner, Mon., April 6, 2026

I turned the rest of my cauliflower puree into soup by adding leeks, herbs and chicken broth.

Cornbread--new batch. I put in Cheddar cheese cubes and chopped jalapenos.

Small baby arugula salad with Parmesan and vinaigrette.

Kombucha, unflavored.

My friend gave me an incredible carrot cake! Lots of cream cheese frosting. That's dessert.

Detroit-style pizza is a rectangular pan pizza with a thick, crisp, chewy crust. It is traditionally topped to the edges with mozzarella or Wisconsin brick cheese, which caramelizes against the high-sided heavyweight rectangular pan. Detroit-style pizza was originally baked in rectangular steel trays designed for use as automotive drip pans or to hold small industrial parts in factories.[1] It was developed during the mid-20th century in Detroit, Michigan,.....

I’ll try first with some tuna salad, avocado, sushi rice, and avocado. Looks simple and yummy!
Serving with a big green salad, too.

My daughter's family hosted the whole crew team for 'carbing up' the day before the regatta. Lots of pasta, lots of leftovers I've had some the last 3 days, still going strong and not a bit tired of it

Good evening!

Steam-fried in evoo and veggie broth: chopped onion, red bell pepper, chopped broccoli, sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. When almost done I added chickpeas, black beans and dried oregano, basil and fresh chopped parsley. While that was cooking I microwaved a small spaghetti squash and scooped out the strands which are the substitute for wheat pasta. Vegan parm on top after plating. Strawberry sundae for dessert. Cheers!🥂

green beans, and crescent rolls. Salad later. This is my birthday dinner a day early.

Tomorrow is my birthday, and we plan to eat pizza at the Golden Nugget.

What a great birthday dinner.

You two do love that Golden Nugget.

I have an article about gambling for you to read on the way. I’ll send it to tomorrow and you can read it to Loretta on the way. It’s about winning.

for Aldi's. Doing a little more shopping, then back to the Golden Nugget for pizza and the free slot play drawings every hour. We won free slot play the last three weeks in a row on Tuesday nights. I won a $100, Loretta won $200 and $250. This week it's my turn.

Atkilt Wat--Ethiopian vegetable stew of cabbage, carrots, onion, and potatoes, seasoned with turmeric, cumin, salt, and pepper.

Beverage of choice--I'm having cucumber limeade.

And NO dessert.

Lord, I will be glad when Lent is over!
