I love thick pork chops, too. If I didn't lose it in my latest PC disaster, I'll share a favorite recipe when I can find it.

 

I have tried many different ways of making them.  But favorite is still just grilling it plain and then salt and pepper when served.  It's the most flavorful to me.

Yum is right.   Reminds me that I have two pork tenderloins in the freezer.  One is definitely going be used to make Schnitzel.

Thanks for the inspiration.  

 

Tonight's dinner.

 

Steak and Frites.

Sterling Silver Ribeye steaks with a wine sauce.

[Dejah]

Pan seared steak, corn, tater, watermelon and feta cheese salad
                                                                           

 

Watercress and fresh lily bulb soup an hour before supper

                                                                          

 

Steamed bone-on chicken, shitaki mushrooms, lap cheung (Chinese sausage) and Jasmine rice. Sauteed green beans as my cousins and friends have been bringing a lot over! 

 

LOL!                                                                   

 

Fresh chicken on sale at our local Co-Op. They come in 2 / bag, 1.99/lb, so under $10.00 for 2. They are smaller, and perfect for a couple of meals for two seniors. I have some seasoning packs from a friend who sells Epicure, so tried the Portuguese one. The packet described the flavour as "When you want all the flavour of takeout chicken without all the sodium, reach for this medium-spicy rub, packed with citrus, garlic, chili, and punchy herbs. Just add water and a splash of oil to the seasoning blend and cook a whole chicken in the microwave in 20 minutes—or pop it in the oven." We enjoyed it and will make again when I need quick prep.

 

                                                                        

 

It was very smoky out today with smoke being blown from our western provinces. Had been wanting to make this ground beef, pork and veal meatball recipe from my Weight Watchers cookbook. I made triple the recipe as I wanted to use up all the meat, plus have some for the freezer. There is Parmesan cheese, egg, and panko in the mix. Then a small piece of mozza cheese is tucked inside the meatball.The recipe said to boil these in the marinara sauce, but I baked them. They were very good, moist and flavourful. We had them with air-fryer perogies, green beans, and corn on the cob.

Another pork chop but not a thick one. Served with a sauce with leek and Dijon, orzo and silver beet from the garden which has once again survived the winter.

A fairly fast pasta/noodle dish I've been meaning to make for some time, saw the NY Times recipe in @blue_dolphin's posts, I believe.  

 

Pretty simple list of ingredients. Here are the main ones, along with our salad bowls (tomatoes still from our garden, yay). 

 

 

Gochujang Buttered Noodles. Very tasty and very quick, will definitely make again.

...so Charlie thought it was good, but not AS good as its predecessor? Makes life easier for you!

 

Yes it does. I was not sad to hear that news.

[Norm Matthews]

We had Swedish meatballs for dinner last night along with asparagus.  Charlie said the asparagus tasted a lot better than usual. I told him that I added some oyster sauce to the usual melted butter ( 4 tsp. butter & 3 tsp. sauce)

[RWood]

Fish tacos are one of my favorite things. Made these with cod, and used Kenji’s Serious Eats recipe for the batter. Really good. Made a spicy slaw and chipotle lime mayo. My mom had regular beef tacos since no fish for her . And Trader Joe’s Mexican rice on the side.

[Captain]

Umm, I did a thing.. Left over Spag Bol. into the pan on top of parmesan cheese. cook then grill with cheese on top and peperoni.

It worked.

 

[Honkman]

Pasta alla Norma from “Four Seasons of Pasta” - diced eggplant is oven roasted and mixed with tomato sauce made from mashed diced tomatoes, red onion, garlic, ancho chili and dried mint. Finished with olives, parmesan and basil and served with penne.

Creamy cajun chicken pasta, a NY Times recipe I made to use up a bunch of veggies in the fridge.  I probably won't make it again.
