Baked ziti (well, campanelle) with hot Italian sausage, peppers and zucchini. I followed a recipe from SK just for some proportions, but you don't really need a recipe. But maybe you do since this turned out particularly well?
Dinner Etc.

Had some of the leftover pupusas, with more roasted cabbage and a pineapple salsa that I was inspired to make after buying the sweetest pineapple I have ever encountered. This must be what life is like for Hawaiians.

Dinner with Jodi, Sam (home for break) and Carter. Sam made a very nice curried tomato soup with chick peas and paneer, and Jason made pita and we brought some kind of cream cheese hot honey dip that we found at Aldi. I think that was Carter's favorite part.

Our pizza night got pushed ahead since we suddenly had Thursday plans. Jason tried some new crust method on a different pan that I didn't pay attention to all the details of, but it was very good. We hadn't really thought too hard about toppings, so it was just pepperoni, provolone and pepperoncinis.

Did we have corned beef and cabbage? We did not. We had the last of the fried eggplant from the freezer, with pita, feta, various little vegetables and a not very good yogurt-tahini sauce (I don't know what went wrong but it was unpleasantly bitter).

Still a LOT of cheese in the house, so it was another night of bread and cheese. I made a little cucumber-cherry tomato salad to at least get some vegetables in our diet. On a whim after dinner I took all the leftover rice in the fridge and made an ad hoc rice pudding (heavy cream, an egg, cardamon, cinnamon and vanilla). Surprisingly good in the day that something with that much heavy cream would be.

Cheesy pinto beans and rice, with green chiles, red peppers, zucchini and cherry tomatoes. I cooked the beans in the Instant Pot for I think 40 minutes? They got a tiny bit too soft but that was my fault. We were out of salsa so I doused mine in taijin.
