Family Dinner Semi Restaurant Style

Sue and I are not restaurant people for the most part. I mean, we do not go out a lot, and when we do, it is mostly for breakfast. For one thing, our budget doesn't extend to too many pricey meals, but I don't think we would be out there a lot in any case.

(I see I have been updated to the new Blogger. We shall see how it goes.)

In these pandemic times, we are even less inclined to gravitate to restaurant fare. While many have been ordering restaurant meals for delivery or takeout, we don't find that too enticing. I mean if one is going to pay restaurant prices, it would be nice to make an outing of it and be served in a restaurant. Why turn an expensive meal into a tv dinner, for example.

To each their own, but that is our feeling. Pizza excepted, of course: but we have only done that twice, or maybe thrice, since mid-March.

However, one local restaurant/hotel makes family dinners on most weekends, and I thought we could try one for our Monday family dinner.

We had to pick it up cold on Sunday, but it came cold with warming instructions, so into the fridge it went until Monday. It was made for 4, and we were 5, but we thought we could make it stretch. And we managed to do just that, partly because there was enough and partly because JJ is a very fussy eater and he was not taken with the food. The rest of us enjoyed it very much. 

I particularly liked the soup and had a second helping because there was some left after others had their fill. The stroganoff was enjoyed by all -- except JJ. And the cake, OMG! the cake. Scrumptious, I tell ya.

I didn't have the salad because I was quite full, but enough remains that I can enjoy that later today. There is even enough stroganoff remaining that Sue and I should be able to stretch into another meal.
