Here’s a link to the cauliflower soup. It was excellent and easy to make and very reasonable cost wise with fresh produce. We’re actually having leftovers for lunch. https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/cauliflower-soup/

Tomorrow night Chef Mack takes the night off. Either we go out to eat or it’s a fetch dinner. If it is a fetch night Chinese sounds good right now but who knows what will sound good tomorrow. Mrs Mack is off tomorrow as she cranks back her schedule approaching her retirement here in a few weeks.

I made Paula Dean's southern meatloaf for dinner tonight.
I do not recommend it. I googled for a recipe that used 1 lb of ground chuck and her's came up and I figured it would be safe, and it was different.
You use quick oats for the binder (I always use a slice of bread soaked in milk, but i figured the oats would be healthier) and you add diced tomatoes to it.
It's very bland and I realized afterwards she only has salt and pepper for spices.
And it falls apart when you take a forkful from the slice.
Oh, well.

Yeah, I think she changed all of her recipes after she got Diabetes so they may not have the same flavors anymore.

Meat loaf
Potatoes au gratin
(It’s cold and too cold to grill outside so this is a favorite winter meal for us. We both grew up on basically meat and potatoes mid-west food.)

I hope your meatloaf comes out better than my Paula Dean meatloaf. 
(And I'm certain it will.)

Our meatloaf is actually Carey’s mother’s recipe and supposedly a couple of generations before her.

Yep, Scoot, now that I am not moving I will get back onto improving the Bistro. He actually served sweet potatoes mashed with the Salisbury steak -- that is not acceptable, LOL.
