My thoughts have been scattered lately. Not much sleep because of Tot and asthma spasms that seem to happen between midnight and 3am. Sigh… which brought back memories of Las Vegas. Hubby and I went to Vegas before children. We won about $150 on the slots (and I mean won… that we still had the money we started with along with an extra $150)… and I lost within 10 minutes at the craps table. I always wanted to try craps, it was 8am and no one was playing… figured I would give it a shot. Such is life. But I really enjoyed the different Las Vegas suites you could get for the money. We ended up staying 3 nights in the Luxor and 1 night at the Bellagio. I actually made a scrapbook for that one trip. It was a blast. Yep… I love my good memories.

Tater is learning about food groups in school. They are also looking at sugar content, fat content and the like. It brought to mind one of my favorite food groups… Dinner! And one of my favorites that my mom always makes when I’m around is fried pork chops, rice, gravy, blackeyed or pinkeyed peas, and cornbread. My mouth is watering as I think about this. In fact, I remember asking my mom for her cornbread recipe… and laughed when she told me which box brand she preferred. Yep… so that means if I ever decide to make a cornbread dressing for Thanksgiving… I’ll most likely be starting out with cornbread out of a box mix. Hmmmm… fried pork chops… haven’t had those since mom left. Might need to put that on my list for next week.
