What's for Dinner, Tues., Dec. 9, 2025

I'm posting early due to being busy all day: water heater installation going on, cleaning help arriving, and then two other Zoom meetings.

No time to cook, so I'll just have chicken matzoh ball soup, which should taste great having time for the flavors to blend.

My wife does reading tutoring for the young children of an Afghani family our church sponsors.

As a thank you and a Christmas gift she made us dinner.

Looks like a pilaf with either beef or lamb, homemade flatbread and a salad.

I know it's going to be good. They invited us in the Spring to an Eid celebration at their home and I ate myself stupid.

Popcorn before bedtime.

Glad you found someone to install you a new water heater.

Good Evening

Tomato sauce with garlic, basil, minced onion and chunks of Italian sausages flavored with fennel. I put it on the stove an hour ago and it gets the Goodfellas treatment: keep stirring the sauce! It'll be served over ziti with a Caesar salad and chianti.

My brother and his wife have been asking me to make our grandmother’s recipe, which I learned to make vegan, so I invited them over for dinner. I brought out my Coleman propane camping stove and fried the pancakes outdoors under my patio roof because I hate the way the house smells for 48 hours if they are fried indoors. I also made air-fried Field Roast apple-sage sausages, sweet and sour red cabbage and homemade applesauce…applesauce is absolutely necessary when eating potato pancakes. Cheers!🥂
