We registered Shaling for school today at the Rochester District Office. She is enrolled as a 3rd grader. We don't know her classroom teacher yet, but know she will spend a lot of time as an ELL (English Language Learner) student with Mrs. Bivens. One of the 3rd grade teachers, Mrs. Collins, has an adopted daughter from China, so we think it would be great if Shaling would end up with her as a teacher.
We took her along as we dropped Preston off at school today. We had to drive him because we had the entire contents of his desk and locker at home. He was sick and missed the last two days of school, so he missed his class "field trip" to drop off all of his stuff and get organized in his new classroom in his brand new school building, which officially opened today. Along the way, we showed her where she is going to go to school and she seemed genuinely excited.
We ate breakfast at Charlie Parker's and let her sign the guestbook. For our out of the area friends, Charlie Parker's is a popular local restaurant for breakfast. It was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives on the Food Network. In addition to traditional breakfast fare, they serve 16-inch pancakes and breakfast horseshoes. Breakfast horseshoes come with toast, topped by eggs cooked to order, meat (ham, sausage or bacon), cheese sauce or gravy (or both), and hash browns or American fries.
This blog began as a place to share Shaling's journey from rice in China to popcorn in Illinois. However, it has evolved to include all sorts of happenings in the Reynolds family.
That dish sounds a lot like one I had in Virginia, IL a few years back. It was described as heart attack on a plate.
ReplyDeleteStill though it sounds yummy. Might have to try that when we visit in the near future.
