Got two packages of these the other day at my local grocery store. Crawfish Monica and Etouffee coming soon!

I had this Pork Taco rather late in the morning, but it was my first meal of the day, so breakfast!

I am no longer a Costco member, but when I was, my husband also had a card at no extra charge. PS: They did check identity at checkout.

And practicing social distancing! 😋

The wait times for grocery pick ups was getting days longer and the online selections were getting fewer, so I decided to brave in-store shopping. My local HEB opens at 8:00 am and I was in line at 5 minutes after. Most of us were wearing masks, everyone observed social distancing, the grocery staff was supplying freshly sanitized carts and everything on my list was in stock. Back home in less than an hour. We should be good for at least the next week.

Pork Carnitas, Roasted Green Chile Rice and Spicy Black Beans

When we picked up our order from Kroger last Saturday, this is the pork shoulder butt roast we were provided. When I do the shopping, I usually pick a much smaller roast, but in this time of fewer choices, I’ll take it! Today I broke the roast down into four portions. Three portions went into the freezer and the fourth went into the Instant Pot for carnitas for dinner tonight.

I spent my first six years in Santa Monica and Culver City. The Hot Tamale Man memory predates the Popsicle/Ice Cream Man for me.

I used this recipe as the basis of my curry. https://www.pressurecookrecipes.com/instant-pot-chicken-curry-japanese/ And yes, I used the roux cubes. Hubby really liked it! No leftovers.

When we had dogs, they used to line up to get their share!
