Don't answer that because there is
And, of course, if we have pork chops
we have to have... mashed potatoes with gravy.
Honey, this is the Midwest..you got pork chops..
you got gravy...deal with it.
And green beans...
Most Midwesterners drown theirs with butter.
I prefer a few beans with my butter.
And then...Oh My..
MyHero starts salivating down the front of his bib..
er, I mean..into his napkin.
I made him some cherry turnovers
which looked nothing like these
from Taste Of Living..
No..ours were a bit lopsided...
we ate them while
they were hot enough
to take the skin off the roof
of our mouths.
I will spare you those pictures!
Well...mainly because you-know-who
wouldn't open his mouth so I could
take a picture..Spoil Sport!
Now, as I am cleaning up and doing dishes,
I remembered I had sheets on the line..
Which happened to be out overnight because
I forgot to bring them in last night
and it poured...and poured...and poured..
Now they REALLY smell
rainwater fresh...except for the one
with the bird poop on it...
I'll spare you that picture too.
Ahhh..here comes the sunset..
The day is over..my work is done..
Except...wait...what's that?
You want chicken for dinner tomorrow night?
Well...here you go...have at it..
and good luck to you~

LOL! Your dinner looks so good and turnovers too! It's 11am and I just decided I'm cooking dinner now!
ReplyDeleteI miss you. Your post makes even this vegetarian remember the good old pork chops and fried chicken with gravy and mash potatoes dinner I used to make.
ReplyDeleteHope he loved your work as much as I did your post.
Hugs,

You cooked pork chops inside when it was 235 degrees outside? Couldn't you just tell him you have been reading way too many cookbook posts .... and thought how about.....
ReplyDeletepork chops on the grill...how about....
diced potatoes coated with olive oil and snips of rosemary and lots of fresh ground pepper bundled up in foil and cooked on the grill....how about...
green beans bundled up in foil with how ever much butter works for you...and cooked on the grill? ...how about we eat this outside? unless you have central air conditioning.... I must confess it did look delicious! What time is the chicken dinner tomorrow?
;)
Is there such thing as pork chop sandwich meat? I'm just sayin. . .
ReplyDeleteWhat a good wife you are!
Thanks so much for finding my blog and commenting cause now I have found yours. I read your cute post about your brother and then this pork chops one had me laughing and laughing is good for you, right? It is way too hot and I grilled a pork tenderloin out last night on my hot deck because my husband doesn't know how to grill like most men. Have a super weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe Chinese call it 'take out', the Irish call it 'take away', I just call it 'the ideal choice' when it's over 200 degrees out. You are such a good wife!
ReplyDeleteAnswer to Cottage By The Sea...

ReplyDeleteHere they are, Diana! lol!
You deserve the Wife of the Month Award, girl! Sure hope that your Hero wiped his face off before he gave you a thank-you kiss (and presented you a sickeningly large diamond bracelet or something....)
And write a book, will ya? You're a born story teller and would make millions!
Smooches!
