A vegetarian feast! (for two). B and I have both been a little under the weather, so as far as menu planning went, the key ingredient was ultimately what required no outside resources to prepare. We had plenty in the fridge to work with, however, so it wasn’t exactly a master round of Iron Chef or anything.

To get specific:

• Butternut squash soup of my own devising (roasted squash, a couple potatoes, onion, veg stock, some sweet curry powder, a little milk, etc.)
• Roasted root vegetables with a maple syrup/mustard/garlic powder glaze
• Roasted rapini with garlic
• And since that big red cabbage would not stop begging me to pay some attention to it, braised red cabbage with a sprinkle of goat cheese for good measure

In honor of family Thanksgivings of days past, we sat down to dine at 4 p.m. without really thinking about it and then wondered how that tradition got started exactly.

What’s everyone else cooking/eating today?
