What's for Dinner, Thurs., April 2, 2026

Posting early due to workers coming to clean up after the water pipe breakage. This is the one that happened a while back, not a new one. It took a long time because there were other pipes around the house that needed replacing, just to be safe.

Since I'll be working with them, I'm glad I have my vegetable soup. Tonight, however, I think I'll turn it into vegetable bean soup and have garbanzos and cannellinis as the new ingredient.

Might make a pizza marguerite and put baby arugula greens on top.

Kombucha: ginger-pineapple.

Dessert: White cake with nuts on top (cashews, macadamias, and almonds). Vanilla ice cream.

I hope this is the last of your plumbing problems!

I think I'll make some tuna salad. Yummy! And yes, with black olives, onions, celery, yellow pepper rings, and green pepper slices.

Good luck with your plumbing!

Enjoy!

... with matzo balls - all from scratch.

It's a rainy, windy day here today. This really hits the spot.

Hope the plumbers do a good, lasting job for you

I made some peanut butter chicken and Chinese dumplings.
