Well, here's the minestrone so far... sans pasta. I used a carton of low-salt veggie broth, one can each of tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, garbanzos, mushrooms, & green beans... onion, red pepper, garlic, baby spinach, & a large potato (tiny cubes)....
This will cool a bit & go in the fridge overnight. I still have veggie sammiches for din-din and my folks got Jerry some take-out fried rice for later.
Tomorrow I'll make some rotini for me, store it separately, and add it to the soup as needed (per serving). Plus I'll bring some soup to Jer's tomorrow night 'cuz I know he's got some dry elbow macaroni. Things should work out nicely.

Made another avatar for Lieutenant Lush. I lost the one I was working on a couple days ago on HeroMachine 3 so I decided to try again today, just using HeroMachine 2.5 (FAR less complicated & time-consuming than 3)....
Eh... this'll do for now. It's pretty cartoony, but that's just fine with me.... LOL

Not making it, exactly, but I opened up a can of Amy's Thai Coconut soup. I added potato to it because it was very thin and soupy. Really nice taste to it, though. I will add extra veggies next time, too.

Made an entire box of ditalini pasta, stored it separately... added some to Jer's batch of minestrone (taking it to him later)....
Now I'm about to repair the bottom of my beer cozy (for bottles)... got some adhesive foam rubber (thanks, Jerry!)... luckily I also had a beer here to trace two of the right sized circles....

Oooh, I'm excited for this improvised broccoli-cheese pasta bake thing I just whipped up! 
I got everything set & in the baking dish 'cuz I'm just gonna take that with me & bake it in Jerry's oven. I boiled the broccoli with the pasta in the last 5 minutes of cooking time, drained, returned to pan & added evoo, Olivio, a tiny bit of organic milk (left from X-mas), Greek whipped cream cheese, organic parm, Go Veggie, & nooch... along with herbs & spices (no added salt).... Stirred that all up in the pan, transferred to my new baking dish and topped with the rest of my Go Veggie shreds & a mix of nooch, parm, & breadcrumbs.
I can't wait to pop this thing in the oven tonight! It already smells INCREDIBLE!!

4 Ways to Use Polenta Tubes
Personally, I'd try out some polenta fries first....
There are some ideas in the comments here, too: I have a tube of polenta ... now what? - Page 2 - Chowhound
But fries & aioli... oh, yum, indeed.
8 Vegan Aioli Recipes Better Than the Real ThingAnd if it's PLAIN polenta (and if you like sweet stuff), you could try fried corn cakes & syrup!

Vegetable barley bean soup...I'm so excited! I'm constantly wanting things and saving recipes but then I never make them! Of course I'm tweaking it to suit my taste which means most of the herbs will be omitted.
