White or regular chili with Cornbread

Cottage cheese salad (CC & caned fruit cocktail)

Waffles or pancakes for dinner (enough syrup & butter will make'em soft)

Grilled cheese

Kraft or home made overcooked Mac & Cheese

Don't forget the ice cream & cake

Dimitri is good, yeah. Minestrone is great with cornbread, too. I betcha
he'd like ravioli if he likes lasagna. Spinach soufflé is one of my faves.
Chicken breast meat, sliced, sautéed briefly in butter then pan deglazed
with tiniest amount of white wine is our family stand by for people with
mouth problems. We call it Angels' Tongues.
