Here's my thinking process on that. I'm thinking steak because we had power outages but the steak is defrosted.

I have lots of fresh tarragon and I think I should use that.

I still have some veggies that survived, including some cabbage and potatos. No cream or milk but I could buy some. And I have some habeneros and some mangos that are quite ripe.

And I have some good cheese.

And I have some stale homemade bread.

So, here is my plan:

sliced steak in a tarragon cream sauce with breadcrumbs on a bed of panfried potatoes

cole slaw

mangos for dessert -- maybe with chopped mint leaves on homemade shortbread sauced with simple syrup
