I think we’ll have smothered pork chops tonight, with fresh, home made french fries and some corn…
Either that or Totino’s combination pizza. Those little pizzas cost about a buck a piece, and they are the best frozen pizzas out there!
I guess it just depends on how I feel when I get home!
We’re having Pork Salad.
It’s real name is something like “Salad of Snow Peas and Pan Seared Pork with Crunchy Noodles” but I like saying “pork salad.”
It’s from the latest issue of Eating Well. (Spring 2003)
leftover macaroni and cheese. yum.
Whatever I find lying on the ground on my way home. This can include flat gum, bites of a doughnut, or possibly a swig left of whiskey. The possibilities are endless.
I’ve decided on London Broil, green beans, and…something. I’m not sure. Rice? Potatoes? Pasta?
Whatcha doing to the London Broil? Marinating it at all?
My starchy side would depend on what I’m doing to the London Broil.
If you’re doing a fairly plain London Broil, with just spices on the outside rather than a marinade, I’ve discovered recently that I like mac-n-cheese or some other cheesy noodle type thing with rare beef. I like the way it tastes when the blood runs into the cheesy noodles. Hm, that sounded kind of gross.
I discovered this because my fiance suggests Kraft Mac-n-Cheese as a side dish for everything and sometimes I give in.
Grilled cheese (made w/Velveeta)
& Campbells Tomato Soup
…another “Under The Weather” production
Whatever she cooks, god bless her soul. And it’s usually pretty good.
(And then I get to clean up afterwards, and we have our nightly discussion about whether it’s more difficult to cook or clean up, with me advocating the position that when she’s doing the cooking, the cleaning is by far the most difficult [cooks: is there some reason that it takes twelve forks and three plates to marinade and cook one pork loin for two people?]).
Tuscan chicken (over jasmine rice, because we ran out of fettuccine and I didn’t notice). And parboiled Brussel sprouts breaded with Italian bread cumbs and romano cheese, then fried.
Christmas Crackle ice cream and pecan bars for dessert.
I decided to go with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans and green salad with mushrooms and sweet onions.
Baked ham and (home-made) scalloped taters. Handy because you put 'em both in the oven for the same time, same temp.
With broccoli and cheese sauce.
