Tortilla chips and salsa, pita chips and hummus, sliced apple and orange, pretzels, unless I stop at the grocery store.

Same here...I usually plan in advance but somehow didn't. So I dug around in the freezer and found a frozen turkey burger. I also found some frozen rye bread leftover from St. Pat's day. So both are thawing in the fridge and it looks like I will be making a patty melt tonight for the first time in my life.

Sounds like an adventure! Tales from the back of the freezer.

Or the drive thru :).

Opposite here, we are still working on cleaning out the refrigerator before we leave for vacation this weekend. Looks like tonight is some kind of whitefish and either kale salad or sautéed kale. We may be in your position when we get back a week later.

Not beautiful but delicious. Our local pub did a pork braised in sourkraut over cheese pierogi. I was planning to have a lot of leftovers but Mr. CE tried one bite and then couldn't control himself.

We got hungry on the way home and stopped at Ruby Tuesday around 3:30. The food was okay, but the place smelled bad. First time we’ve been in one since they filed for bankruptcy. They need to petition their lender to let them clean the carpets.

A couple oranges before bed and we’re satisfied. I’m going to the Polish deli tomorrow to select a kielbasa. They usually have about a dozen varieties of smoked sausage. Cabbage, carrots and red skin potatoes on the side,

I'm jealous... I wish I had a Polish deli near me.

Been there. I now have a few "break glass in case of emergency" items in my pantry for exactly the nights you've described.

Foreign Cinema supper with suburban friends airbnbing in Sf this week - menu from 5/15 was same for today.
kids menu is a 3 course meal of vegetables & fruit starter, ice cream dessert, and a chosen main. The children both got steam with potatoes - in this case, fingerling potatoes with zero taste. My child demolished their steak while the other child eschewed most so I took the leftovers.

warm olives
Warmed goat cheese
warmed Provençal fish
tuna poke

2*sesame fried chicken
duck breast
risotto

birthday cake
chocolate pot de creme

my beverages - Lemoncocco can; rose lemonade; tumeric tonic

How do you cook the cabbage & carrots for this type of meal?
I buy the Costco kielbasa which seems to be made my a marketed family called Kielbossa. Organic kielbasa, about $8.99/lb. I’m serving this Thursday along with Mac & cheese but I like your idea of cabbage & carrots.
