We had a (grocery store) rotisserie chicken with roasted cabbage "steaks", tossed salad, and (minute rice) rice & quinoa. Super easy and quick!
I tossed the chicken carcass in the pressure cooker with four cups of water to have chicken broth. I will freeze to have for later dishes that call for chicken broth. 😁

I had a nice enough dinner - baked sweet potato, boneless pork chop, steamed broccoli and a fruit salad - but for some reason I really want CHOCOLATE.

Si si, Maestra SueC.

So happy you got the perfect job. Maybe you can teach them a few medical terms given your nursing background.

Our new house in PV is across the street from an elementary school. Before I left to be with my mother in her last hour, hubs heard the principal announce on the loud speaker that they were looking for an English teacher. Hubs told me and we were in his office in 10 minutes. I got the job! (It helped that I’m volunteering my time and some supplies).
Now to the point....speaking of chocolate.....I thought I’d bake cupcakes for the first class (checking first for any diabetics or allergies, of course).
Their first word in English will be CHOCOLATE! (Spelled the same in Spanish but pronounced differently).
🍫🍫🍫🍩🍩🍩🍪🍪🍪🍫🍫🍫
I hope they’ll like their English teacher.

Hotel Chocolat opened a new branch a couple of months ago near me. I need to find a different route into town!

Raisin clusters, sigh...

I went crazy on some hometown chocolates the other day. I visited their shop. Such a delightful scent when I walked in the door. 🍫

Chocolate in all its forms. Every shape, filling and mix-in known to man. And the full Easter selection! So many fun novelties.

I had a hankering for the raisin clusters Mom loved so much. Yum. The reality matched my memories.

They had candy cigarettes, too! That put a BIG smile on my face. I know they’re politically incorrect now, but such a good childhood memory. Ahhhhh. That chalky, vaguely wintergreen taste. The red tip. The powder coating that “puffed” slightly.

The good old days!

I had to train myself to stop burning food. I always turn off the burner when the food is finished (better to reheat than to scour pots and pans) and when I leave anything to finish cooking while I do something else I always set a timer - the one on my stove won't stop until I turn it off.

I asked DH: "How does NY steak sound for dinner?"
DH: "That's too far."

Haha. That's what we're having tonight.

Well, since I now have to work tomorrow, we had our corn beef/cabbage/potatoes and carrots today. Very yummy, and leftovers galore for me tomorrow! Mom had a bowl, and said she may have another when she comes up for bed. One way to get some vegies into her!

I've always considered myself the queen of reinvented leftovers, and now that I'm living alone I pretty much have to be. Day one - shredded beef and rice. Day two - cold beef. Day three - an addition of bbq sauce, onions and peppers becomes pulled beef sandwiches. Today I added in some more onions, peppers, celery, mushrooms, spices and a can of heinz chili beans - OMG, it's better than day one😆

Ms. Madge,
Maple walnut, butterscotch. The other See’s that I got was Toffee covered with milk chocolate and rolled in finely chopped almonds. I’m a chocolate junkie. I like a brand called Esther Price based in Ohio. They only show up in my area around Christmas and Valentine’s Day. One of my BIL’s brought me and MIL a box for Valentine’s Day. Chocolate covered cherries by Esther Price are to die for.

I didn’t cook dinner this evening. A friend went to CA on vacation. I took care of her cat. Today when I got home, there was a thank you note and a one pound box of See’s chocolates behind the storm door. I had three pieces and tried to compensate with a salad. Then I thought heck with it and had another chocolate. This was an excellent thank you gift. I had only had See’s once before when a client gave me box for Christmas. See’s is so good.

AliBoBali: Although much of what has already been said is of good information and yes it is advisable to toss veggies that are too old. I will admit that I have used frozen veggies that have been several years old. But only if I boil them for a good long time, and then add them to a soup concoction. Mostly I only LIKE to use fresh items. But sometimes we find that our freezer has been hiding items from us and if the product is not too freezer burned or dried out, I still use it up. If anything looks questionable though I toss it out.

Easy conversion of Celsius to Fahrenheit:

Multiply degrees Celsius by 1.8 and then add 32.

It’s a Whirlpool (made in México).
Trying to get used to centigrade temps is a trip. Thankfully, I brought my ferinheight thermometer with me for baking.

We just got our new stove delivered last night-what a beauty! 6 burners with an optional griddle (comal) in the middle, a glass top and electronic ignition. We’ll test it tonight with teriyaki beef with vegetables.
New things are so much fun! 🍳
