Yesterday my mom had a doctor appointment in Buffalo and was away from the home for several hours. I told her I would bring her whatever she wanted for lunch when she returned.

She actually listened, and requested pizza. So Julie’s it was.

I made the mistake of telling HWMMS that I bought pizza for my mom and her roommate and myself and left the extra slices for them to eat later. Meaning, no pizza for HWMMS. And then I was well, basically asleep all night, so this morning before he went to work I asked what he would like me to make for dinner. His request?

Pizza.

Or meatloaf.

So I made both.

4

Sausage and cheese. And homemade crust. I was going to cheat, but I forgot the dough when leaving the grocery store.

3

Broccoli, mushroom, onion, garlic and white sauce.

2

Crazy Chuck Meatloaf on the left (spicy brown mustard, tobasco sauce and red chili pepper) and Normal Boring Meatloaf on the right. I also added lots of mushrooms. I’ve been on a serious mushroom kick lately.

 

AND I did up a pan of caramelized onions and mushrooms and started a french onion soup in the crockpot. Because, well, I still had some leftover roast. AND—french onion soup is delicious and I promised mom I’d bring her some.

You’d never know it was just me and HWMMS living here. I always cook for crowds.
