Sounds delicious. I know what you mean, we nearly always have leftovers
enough for a few meals.

Tonight we had curried homemade chicken soup with corn muffins.
It was good, but it was no seafood gumbo!

DH was driving back from two days of skiing and traffic was terrible
so I was happy I had planned something that would keep well until he
got home. Yesterday morning at the ski area (Copper Mt. in Summit
County) it was -25 at the base and -37 at the summit. There was a
record low number of skiers. Today he said it was warmer (less cold?)
and more populated.
