A follow-up on what we actually did.

First of all, I looked at my teaching schedule and saw that I had _zero_
breaks between 3:15 and 6:30, so my lovely wife ended up making dinner.
She was _delighted_ not to have to think about what to make - I sent her
an email with a link to this thread on Google Groups.

The shrimp were cut up and combined with the sauteed spinach and
garlic - I haven't yet had a chance to ask about the cooking details but
that was dish #1.

We had leftover spaghetti in the freezer. I know, I know, but she does
this for the kids and has been doing it for years. She found a
carbonara recipe and used that - she reheated the blog of frozen pasta
in boiling water as the recipe called for using some of the pasta water
in the sauce. No cream, alas, but grated cheese.

We got to use up three things that had been in the freezer for a while -
the pasta, the shrimp, and the spinach - and it was all very tasty, so
she and I offer a big "Thank You" to everyone here for their
suggestions.
