OK. I'll try to plan in advance.
Pasties made from left over casserole, mashed potatoes, broccoli, avec ;-) gravy made from the casserole liquid
The last of the date and walnut cake.

I wish I wasn't too lazy to make pasties
You're not, you just think you are.
It's easy from leftovers.
If you don't want to make the pastry try the premade stuff.

At first I misread "pasties" as "pastries". That made the post rather hard to understand. "Here is some gravy for your cheese Danish". Ugh.
Spaghetti with serrano peppers, Italian sausage, butter sauce, and grated pecorino Romano, as well as oven fresh pistachio and cranberry sugar cookies (pale, flaky) and cranberry margaritas for two.
Cheese danish???... Nah it would be pain aux raisin or croissant almond. The most delicious pastries I've tasted (if you find the right patisserie.
Come on man, I love broccoli. Boiled, roast, soup, (broccoli and stilton is delicious), the florets in cream sauce on pasta.
Did you know that many are genetically prdisposed to dislike a host of vegetables?
"It might depend on your genes. Specifically, whether or not you’re genetically predisposed to perceive bitterness—and therefore bitter veggies. As Eric Burton said, "And God, I know I'm one"
From Aversion to Broccoli May Have Genetic Roots
“So broccoli is definitely one of them. They tend to be cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts, asparagus."
If you ever took that test in science class where you put a piece of paper on your tongue to see if it tastes bitter, you might already know your bitter status.
Smith took saliva samples from 175 adults known to be at risk of cardiovascular disease. She then did a genetic test to determine whether they had a copy of a bitter-taste gene variant. She also had them fill in a questionnaire about their eating habits.
After controlling for factors like age, gender, income, and so on, Smith found that people with a copy of the bitter-sensitive gene variant were just 40 percent as likely to report eating a lot of veggies as were the folks without the gene variant. "
Maybe you knew that.
My wife loves it all, which works out well when we order Chinese and exchange hostages, but I can't eat most of that. Cabbage is OK raw (slaw and salads), and asparagus is tolerable if it's crisp and lightly cooked, but not the rest. My running joke is that I don't eat trees or clouds:
As an aside, there's also a gene that makes cilantro taste like soap to some people. Fortunately, I don't have that one. Maybe you knew this, too: Why do some people think cilantro tastes like soap?

I had an employee once that said the same about carrots. In fact she was thrilled to death when she met another person that said the same thing. And it is probably the same gene:
The Science Behind Why Your Carrots Taste So Soapy - The Daily Meal
If you've ever tasted a soapy carrot, you may have chalked it up to poor cleaning or a nasty piece, but there might be a more scientific reason behind it.

But back to the topic of the thread. French onion soup was the meal of the evening.
I bought a 50 pound bag of onions and carried them home on my back for about 2/3 to 3/4 of a mile so I wanted to taste the fruits of my labor. It turned out very very good.
