We had people over for lunch and decided to make the same thing as last week. We also made a batch with just cheese to be more like cheese straws. Both were very good except the cheese didn’t want to stay much while being rolled.
And there was a small oopsie while making the béchamel. I caught my finger in a drawer and tossed my phone. I’m trying to catch it, I made it worse! See below. (The sauce was still boiling so any germs would be killed)
Also had hotdish from last week

Meredith made a bean and avocado salad with the dressing from Spicy Salmon Black Bean Salad [The Kitchn]. I also made leftovers into nachos which was pretty good

We had leftover béchamel from Croque Monsieur [Bon Appétit] we made the other day (but no post). Meredith had the idea to try to use it to make pinwheels à la Ham and Cheese Pinwheels [Well Plated]. They were really good! We will do this again.
One note: Meredith tried to make it with using plastic wrap and one without. It was much easier without. I added a note to the page.
Meredith also roasted broccoli which we served with Green Goddess Salad [Baked By Melissa]

This was our 7th Anniversary Dinner. We didn't go too "all out" but made some fancy stuff.
For the scallops I followed Sous Vide Scallops with Lemon Butter [Izzy Cooking] pretty closely. They were good but not especially amazing. And I think our scallops got a bit freezer burned.
We also made One-Pot Creamy Wild Mushroom Pasta [The Kitchn]. I did it with only 11 oz pasta. I do not know if that made the difference or not but it was very soupy. Still really delicious. And so easy!!!

We hadn't made it in a while but we remembered that Japanese Curry is delicious. This was based on mild "Vermont Curry" blocks.
We did carrots and potatoes. We also had tofu that we froze first, the defrosted.
Meredith used Crispy Baked Tofu [Cookie and Kate] on the tofu too. Unfortunately, Caroline didn't like that very much!

Meredith made Pumpkin Protein Bars [Eating Bird Food]

Pretty standard Hot Dish [My Name is Yeh] except I had a 3 lbs (chub) of ground beef so I tried to go heavy on everything else. Still, it ended up a bit too much beef! And trying to do that in four layers was hard!
One idea I may try next time: Cook the tots separately and top it after they are cooked and crispy!

Lasagna Soup with a full jar of sauce (24 oz) and then just three cups of water. I added a note to the page too.
It was delicious as usual!
