PATCO doesn't to any city but Philadelphia, unless you count Camden. It is a commuter rail service from Jersey suburbs in part of Camden County to Philadelphia. The last stop also houses NJ transit train that goes down to Atlantic City.

In the Delaware Valley (aka Philadelphia suburbs)it's a cart

Necessary if you don't want to use Uber /taxi or Instacart/ delivery . There are restaurants we can walk to along with a hardware store. The main public transit is PATCO which goes into Philadelphia (Center City). We both used that for work before we retired . But even then we needed a car to...

Tonight I was going to cook chicken I took out of the freezer. However decided to wait until tomorrow so was dinner at a nearby Diner. A plus of living in our area of South Jersey.

Crystal Palace is a buffet meal so another fixed priced before the alcohol.

Tonight was a modified version of Lidia Bastianich's Light Chicken Parmesan . I don't make the tomato sauce and use shredded Mozzarella. We used DH's pasta leftover from dinner at Carrabba's for the starch.

Jealous. I really enjoy their fish and chips.

Tonight was Ribeye steak cooked on our grill. As sides baked potato and our 1st corn on the cob in 2024. The local farm market/garden center had fresh corn from Southern states ( that's what the sign said). Far too early for Jersey corn , but it was very good.

Tonight was going to be steak, but called an audible. So DH & I went to Carrabba's. I had lasagna and DH had spaghetti & meatballs. My lasagna was huge so DH had some. That left us enough spaghetti ( no meatballs though) to use as a starch side Sunday. Will do steak tomorrow.

Extremely surreal. DH ( not at that time) & I were out to dinner after I got out of work.The restaurant we were at had TVs showing sports. However all of them went to the Bronco. A few people came in asking why a movie was on. Everyone in earshot said it OJ on the I-5 .

Tonight was a Maple Walnut Bourbon Brown Sugar Salmon with a baked potato and cooked carrots. The recipe calls for green onions but I usually use shallots . I also skip the bacon in the recipe. I vary between walnuts and pecans.

Fresh. Used to be a mix with frozen. Since I retired & grocery shopping is no longer something to squeeze in, fresh all the way. Exceptions for frozen & canned if the recipe calls for it. Only other canned are tomatoes and baked beans.

Looking out the front our street and another home like ours. For the first 6-7 years my Parents had the house, out the back it was a farm. It was sold and turned into a housing development . I was about 3 and don't remember the farm. I have seen pictures of me with my Grandparents with cows...

On the news they say the difference in the East is the fault line isn't as deep. So it is felt over a bigger area.

We are in New Jersey about 10 miles east of Philadelphia. I was in a local farm market / garden center and didn't notice it. DH however was in the car & definitely felt it. Said it felt like turbulence.

We honeymooned at WDW staying at POFQ. Been back multiple times.

Hope the attachment below shows up. I'm cooking for only 2 so I cut down the gnocchi, etc. I switch between pancetta and prosciutto. I buy diced at Wegman's. Use them in eggs too. I do keep the liquid for 4 instead of cutting it in half. Was too dry IMHO. I also add a little white wine...

Ricotta Gnocchi with Prosciutto and sauté Asparagus & Shallots. Recipe calls for potato, but I prefer Ricotta as isn't as heavy.

Right now I'll be happy with a few days of sun & seasonal temperatures. It is rainy and about 10+ degrees below the low 60s average. They say be Friday , we'll see.

My favorites are a tie, bacon or sausage patties. Followed by sausage links and Taylor Pork roll. AKA Taylor Ham in North NJ. Usually when we eat out for breakfast. At home it is sausage patties. Jimmy Dean is the one I usually buy.
