Breakfast quesadilla from Bread & Butter quick cafe at Borgata Casino in AC. B&B is a superior quick eats spot. The menu doesn't look like much, but the quality is excellent and portions are huge. Anything you order will satisfy you beyond expectations.
I always forget about posting here. And I made a good one today too. I had some leftover sautéed jumbo shrimp from a couple nights ago that needed to be used up. I had spiced them with a sweet honey bbq rub I have too much of. Anyway, I diced them up and made an omelette. I added some smoked white cheddar with bacon cheese. Anyway it was really good.
It’s long gone in terms of pics. Maybe I’ll remember next time. 🤷♂️

These were really excellent. Scrambled eggs on wheat tortillas, frico’d cheese and fresh pico de gallo with avocado. (It’s not guacamole because it’s only about 1/3 avocado.)

Our second cheap casino gift arrived: a stand alone steamer. This will be interesting. Usually I microwave anything that would normally be steamed, because I don’t like cleaning another pot and steaming basket, and also because it’s a work flow that I’m used to. But steamed vegetables definitely taste better than microwaved vegetables. And this frees up a burner on the stove, and I don’t have to clean around it, and I can toss the basket in the dishwasher.
I looked it up, they cost $20.
Anyhow. Because I do breakfast, I decided to do the eggs in poblano pepper thing, in the steamer.
While that stuff was steaming, I chopped up some salsa fresca stuff. Garlic, serrano, habanero, white onion, tomato, cilantro.
Then I cubed an avocado and mixed it in,
And placed everything in the dramatic early morning sunlight coming through the window, so I could get this shot before I dug in.
PurcSheilaAnn the last couple San Marcos trips, I got breakfast tacos at Loli’s Cafe. That’s drive up only, bring the food back to the hotel. But they were damn good breakfast tacos!
In October 2024 I got there a day early and ate dinner at Toma Taco. It was absolutely outstanding. But I didn’t have breakfast there. Reviews say it’s a damn good breakfast, though.

These always have a redux, because there’s always leftover salsa and avocado, and I’m always trying to think of ways to make it better but without going overboard. Diced ham makes this better.
Also I like taking these dramatic early morning light photos.

More brunch than anything, but this was a clean out the fridge cook green chile brats, broccoli, roasted potatoes, and scrambled eggs! And this 3 Nail Ironware skillet was perfect cooking these scrambled eggs!
It was hearty for sure, Mosca ! No need for dinner tonight, maybe the last few potatoes that were left over. And this was for my better half and I - no way I ate that all myself!
Made a batch of salsa yesterday so today is eggs poached in salsa on toast with a couple of sausage and quesadilla yoke dipping triangles. I’ve posted similar before:
