Kielbasa, cabbage were frequent. Fried Perch& fries on Fridays. I think some of the mothers worked off the kids tuition $ by cooking. Oatmeal & Peanut Butter cookies...
My dad liked a take& bake pizza place down the road, rectangular pan on Saturday Nights.

Roasted salmon on top. I made homemade Ranch dressing with buttermilk...and we had Sushi as an appetizer too...my grocery store had the sushi guy there today..really good. For dessert I have peanut butter cups (no gluten ) or gluten free cookies. And a glass of Riesling...I found a new wine Mount St. Michel Riesling...very reasonable but good...better than the expensive wine I bought recently.
