Ha! I'm with you. I made 8 quarts of wild mushroom & veggie soup today with whatever I had.
Considering I used stuff I had on hand and just winged it, I feel like I made 6 meals for two for basically nothing.
It was teh yummeh! Froze 4 quarts and gave one to my neighbor who has been begging me for some of my shrooms..

Well not for me. This particular species is called Grifola frondosa. I have gotten more this year than I can ever recall. I have about 30-40 lbs vacuum sealed, labeled and frozen. I also dried a few this year for the first time. I've had a great season and at $20+ per lb. I can eat well and they haven't cost me a dime (other than driving to hike about for them)

Dazza made a really nice pasta with prawns and italian herbs and grilled capsicum and olives. A little chilli too. It was good. Even better that I didn't cook it.

Looks like a lot of us had the same idea - I made beef stew on a whim tonight

Leftover Chinese from Mum & Dad's dinner earlier.
I'd been back to the school for the evening performance of the play, so I was hon-grey.

Nom nom nom, thanks very much.

Got the staff room buffet lunch tomorrow.
I am taking boxes for leftovers.
There will be LOTS.

Approx 30 staff @ £4 per head. And obviously no alcohol.
£120 of food to be eaten in 40 minutes...? No.
But the office staff fall between two stools. They are salaried, like the teachers; but like the TAs their wage is below average.
So they err on the side of caution and try to provide a mixture of quantity and quality.

Anyway, I'm off to Boots after school, but I finish at 19.00.
Just in time to work up an appetite for my second round

MB is making salmon with red potatoes, acorn squash and arugula. Nice and healthy, after the chicken wings and onion rings we had for apps at happy hour.

Wild rice with cranberries, chicken thighs with sweet chili sauce, and sauteed mushrooms. I really would have preferred the orange-honey sauce with the chicken, but I was too tired to bother mixing it up.

Tonight I had dinner on the table at 5pm prompt. I was so amazed. It was from-scratch spag bol with mushrooms and carrots as sides. Well penne, not spag -because Hector finds it easier with his braces, but.....

$5.00 for a large pizza. At least the company was great.

I had salmon for dinner, at Led Robster. We met up for mom's birthday.

Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles with broccoli and Asian-spiced chicken.

The noodles were leftover from a New Year's party last night, made the chicken late last week, and the broccoli was frozen but of uncertain provenance ... it's been up there a while, I think.
