We had grilled ham-and-cheese sandwiches tonight.

I had leftover turkey noodle soup, Diane had bean with bacon soup.
Wow, that's really a major mess.
That's great! I'm active in a couple of baking areas, but aside from when we were at the laminated dough demo in Kansas City a number of years ago, and a brief visit to KAF's test kitchen when we went through Vermont en route to Maine for a wedding, it's all been online.
We're having pork chops for supper.
Probably won't be a repairman out to look at the refrigerator until Friday, and then it'll be a week-plus for parts, which puts us into Christmas week to do repairs. This is going to affect holiday meal planning.
So tonight we finished off the chicken marsala.
It's been 3 or so years since this fridge was worked on, and it is, after all, almost 28 years old. And replacements aren't going to fit in the same space, SZ's current models are about 6 inches higher. There was another maker (Frigidaire, I think) making one that fit in the same space as two SZ's side-by-sides, but when we looked at this two years ago there was something like a 6 month backorder list. I'll probably call the appliance store this week, just to see what they say.
We had chicken Marsala this evening, on cauliflower rice or toast.
Diane is making a German's sweet chocolate cake for a friend's birthday (a few days late, it was last week), and I'm busy being her commis.
I'm pretty sure I read all of John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee books, though I'm missing a couple of them now. I recently reread several of them, somehow they're just not as enjoyable as they were 40 years ago, but as I recall the last few in the series were a bit disappointing even back then. Rumors of an unpublished book (with 'black' as the color in the title) that ended the series continue to circulate, though the MacDonald estate has denied its existence many times.
A continuing series of books is a challenge for an author, sometimes they just run out of new ideas, and reading them, or especially rereading them, makes you realize how repetitive the series has become.
I looked up a recipe for Moravian sugar cake, wow, that sounds good but the carbs must be astronomical.
The Doc Ford Mystery series, by Randy Wayne White. Not one I've read, but I may have to look into them as well. The protagonist is a marine biologist and former CIA agent.
He has written several mystery series, under multiple author names, and also wrote the Gulf Coast Cookbook.
We had the last of the pizza from Wednesday, plus the last of the apple pie from Thanksgiving.
My plan is to make chicken Marsala for supper tonight.
