What's for dinner - Tuesday, Jan. 22
Taco Tuesday for us. Going into the bar for $1 tacos. Will be my first time off the boat in a week, so it's time for me to shower and get out of these pajama pants, lol!

More chicken fricassee!!!
We ate all our leftovers as of last night and that's always a great feeling.
There's enough for tomorrow night, too.
I need a lot of variety.
Leftover night every 4th night or so...
which can be a great treat if the originals were good, but not so great if the meals were so-so.
Made with only the finest leftover chicken, leftover sage sausage, and cream of mushroom soup. I'm improvising tonight - we'll see how it goes!
I make these improvised pies often, depending on what's leftover. Sometimes I'll use stuffing or potatoes for the top, like a shepherd's pie. But chicken pot pie demands a top similar to the Swanson chicken pot pies I was raised on. But since I'm so lazy and have no time for actual pie crusts, I cheat, using Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. It's too easy to resist and it looks pretty:
And it's lovely as well.
It gets slimy on the bottom, never quite bakes. 
breakfast - got up and made her molasses granola currant scones
lunch - out to our favorite Indian place
dinner - pumpkin soup with toasted pumpkin seeds and multigrain bread
We kept it light - we kind of celebrated our birthdays together on Sunday (which was mine) - kids came over and cooked that day.
Now we can start to get back to eating better - Tgiving, Anniversary, Christmas, New years and two birthdays out of the way!
Back to smoothies!
What a wonderful husband you are to feed her all day.
And I hope you had a wonderful birthday as well, friend, and glad the kids fed you!
I trained into NYC this afternoon to size up the party venue. It has a very nice kitchen, roomy reception area, cloak room, and performance space, so it fits the bill. We are unfortunately expecting 6"-12" of snow on Friday, so I will have to move up my schedule and have all the food ready to go when they pick it up Thursday night. Afterward, the producer and I met the director and actors for my play at a rehearsal space in the theatre district and ran through the cutting they will be performing a couple of times. Everyone had places to go afterward, so I hoofed it back to Grand Central. I hope my feet don't retaliate tomorrow!
Six-twelve?! I've been working so much I haven't paid attention to the news.
Your event sounds like it will be spectacular!
Thanks for the technique on the pork.
I worked until late tonight and didn't get home until nearly midnight, so I had leftovers my host sent home with me from the dinner party the other night. Duck cassoulet. Yum. Perfect for a freezing cold winter night.

Which will cause NYers no problem at all. If you'd like to come, I'll send you an invitation.
Duck cassoulet makes me jealous! I love duck and it is the perfect dish for a cold winter night.
