The prompt

Here’s what I have in the fridge and cupboards: . I’m cooking for , I have about , and my cooking is . Give me three dinners I can make tonight from only this, plus basics like oil, salt and common spices. Nothing I’d have to buy. For each: a name, how long it really takes, and the method in five lines or fewer. Use up whatever will spoil soonest. Tell me which one you’d make and why, and say so if a dish only half works with what I have. If something on my list fits none of them, tell me what to do with it later this week.
