I was so excited last night after biting into this chop meat. THIS WAS IT !! The darned thing was juicy, crunchy and had an all around ultimate chop taste.
I’ve found, as most do, that one of the key points of shallow or deep frying is keeping the oil hot enough. This is clearly one of those times. So I dug out my electric skillet, set it to 375 and I was on my way.
As far as seasong goes, that’s up to you. Just make damn sure you have decent pork. No dry rub will bring back bad or nasty grocery store pork. Sorry. Get your good meat, salt & pepper with a light dusting of flour.
Yum.

Pork Mmkay? You unnerstandy? Marinate the sucker in port and olive oil, salt & pepper. Toss into a crock pot with carmelized (sp?) onions, garlic and some teriyaki with some chicken broth. When near done toss in some kalamata olives and server over brown rice. That’s what you see. DEElicious.

Okay, so it is a simple meal and damn tasty. The reason I posted this is because THOSE ARE OUR OWN POTATOES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. That’s right, they popped right out of the ground the other day. I don’t remember what kind they are exactly, but I’ve never had such a creamy tater. Absolutely amazing! Oh and the chops were damn fine as well.

So Mz. Meathead says ” I gotta Hankerin’ for Henry Hunans HOT & SOUR Chickey!” We whipped out the Henry Handbook and hunkered down for some wok and woll. Man was dinner mighty fine.

Here’s the beginning of a little Pad Thai. There wasn’t any meat in the mix, so I added some shrimp. As you’ll see in the next entry. It turned out okay for a frozen premade meal. Trader Joes has some edible frozen entrees. Ya know? For when you don’t have enough sanity points to carry through with a regular meal? Yeah, that’s it.

all marinated and searing nicely in olive oil. CHOMP !!

Wow, Trader Joe’s strikes again. Niman pork chops way thick. Sear sear sear and make it cry! Slice chop and into mine mouth they do fly. Taters and salad fill the gap, hand against my belly it goes slap.

Here is the simmering portion of the tomato based sauce of baby back pork rib love. Man, it only has another hour or so to simmer then it is EAT TIME. The smells pouring from the kitchen have been first rate. Of course it helps to have made buttery cookies in the breakfast hour ….
