Baked yam. Another bomb cyclone on the way. As long as I keep electricity, I have pot roast, chili and pea soup in the freezer. Come on bomb cyclone!

Pork chops, mixed green salad and what Mexicans call sopa fria (literally translated- cold soup) but it's just macaroni salad. (Some things just don't translate well.)

I cooked for a change, (hubs likes to do most of the cooking). I didn't forget how and it was pretty good! ;)

MM - The oyster bar is in Palace Station casino. It's off strip. The locals know the best places to eat. Here's the google link. One of the pictures is the dish with the red sauce. That's the one.

Polar,

Born and raised in New Orleans. I approve of your dinner choice! 😊

For dinner, N'awlins shrimps with pasta. This is a dish that I created based on two other dishes.

One is the famous N'awlins shrimp dish at King's Fish restaurant. Delicious.

The other is a creamy N'awlins seafood dish at a very busy oyster bar in Las Vegas. Even more delicious. There's always a line of people waiting to sit at the bar.

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!

That's a good idea to set a timer cwillie,one I need to do,so thanks~

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.
