Making baked beans and macaroni and cheese/ baked style with a creamed white sauce./ extra sharp cheddar cheese...

Solo for a couple of days of work.

Rigatoni with a carbonara sauce. Green salad with tomatoes and red onion. Garlic bread. Cookies and a brandy.

with carrots, turnips, peas and celery. Buttermilk biscuits from scratch. We drink white wines almost exclusively, but I found a white Zinfandel (rose colored) to have with this.

Lavash flat bread slathered with homemade balsamic-walnut dressing. To this I added Soy Boy sliced smoked tofu, sliced tomatoes, red onion, avocado slices, vegan cheddar and a large 2 fisted handful of organic spring mix before rolling the wrap up tightly. Unfortunately much of the spring mix had an over abundance of arugula which I positively can’t stand. It’s funny, out of all the fruits and vegetables we consume arugula is about the only one I don’t enjoy eating. Cheers!🥂
