Polí oraya!
I had no idea that show was still on! Wow.
It was but its now finished for the season - phew! I’ve been watching way more tv than usual but almost all of my favourite tv shows have been on at the same time. Canada’s Got Talent finished last week but The Voice is still on then America’s Got Talent will be starting soon - I think it will be starting after The Voice finishes. I think I will limit myself to AGT this summer so I can get outdoors and come up for air

Good luck! Give into your cravings as soon as you safely can!
I forgot to mention (last night) that I can’t take credit for the idea of peanut butter rice. Someone on the forum mentioned it and I ran with it to make my own version.
I think it was @ChristinaM that made the suggestion, but I’m not sure. If so, thank you Christina – its a tasty side!!

Things have been hectic lately (not in a bad way), so have not been able to post as much. Took mom for a belated Mother’s Day dinner on Friday.
Mom had Frutta di Mare and I had a filet mignon. While the NY Strip I had at this place a few months ago was seriously one of the best steaks I’d ever had in my life, this was just okay.

Following the seemingly endless string of restaurant meals with the Welshman & in anticipation of our PGH buddy coming in this weekend (Austrian! Turkish!! Thai!!!), we plan on dining at home for the most part.
I had a BIG salad craving, which I satisfied with a bowl of super fresh lettuce (it comes with the roots still in a blob of soil!) with date tomatoes & walnuts in a zippy walnut vinaigrette.
A side of juicy roti chicken from the poultry stand at the nearby market hall. Well, half of it. Cheap and delicious.
As you can see in the background, we picked up two Mexican “hot” sauces at the supermarket. The habanero sauce was hot-ish, the rocoto less “spicy” than Tabasco.
More like German hot sauces. Cute

Do NOT do as I did!
Even if it is for science’s sake.
Always on the lookout for something new in the shelf-stable department. So I came across this:
Bottom view.
Microwaved, and put into a pasta plate. Parm is my own.
It smelled, and tasted, like wet tobacco. That’s the best I can describe it. Chef Boyardee from a can would have been better. I took 3 bites, and tossed it.
It’s a shame that the Barilla pasta meals aren’t available here anymore. They had the sauce in a separate little container attached to the main tray. You microwaved both, and then tipped the sauce container into the main dish and tossed it. Add a little olive oil or butter and parm, and it was OK to eat during the apocalypse.
I’m now convinced the best shelf stable meals (as opposed to ingredients/staples) are Mountain House freeze dried camping food. Sad.
Tonight I’m making real chicken.

Hmm, not that I recall, but anything is possible 
Not yet! He has a few instruments he plays around on, but so far resists any structured lessons. Maybe as he gets older.
