I have been so seriously traumatized by the news clips of the torture of sick cows at the slaughter house...that I can't think about eating red meat. I used to be a vegetarian when I lived alone....eat meat now out of social needs....but I think I need to re-think my diet.
I cried and cried seeing that, I just dont understand how people can be so cruel.
after I showed DH the video, he decided we are going to raise our own, and do it organically, this ought to be interesting.....we raise our own chickens and ducks now, as well as some produce and herbs, we will see how it goes.
Anyway, hello everybody, I sure have missed y'all! Got the day off today, so I am catching up with everything.
Am making bbq pork steaks, with slaw and potato salad, I think I will make a lemon cake for dessert.
LaceyEx, you were my angel last night (gave you rep points). I fixed the frittatta (sp?) and dh thought it was wonderful. I surprised myself!
Denise, thanks for helping me decide on tonight's main course. I picked up some thick pork chops. I don't know how I'll cook them yet...probably just on the grill since the weather is nice. Of course, have to have smashed potatoes and gravy and another TBD. I would like to fix a dessert, but we still have SOOOOO much candy left from Valentine's Day.
One idea for cooking pork chops is......saute' an onion and some mushrooms in a bit of butter....add pork chops..when white on both sides. Add some garlic powder, seasoned salt and pepper.
Add couple of cans of cream of mushroom soup. Simmer for a couple hours.
This can also be done in the crockpot in the AM..by the time dinner is served the chops are falling off the bones. So good...So fattening!
I usually make mine with some homemade applesauce.
gravy on pork? Really? I've never heard that before and I am a gravy fanatic!
Oh yes... I don't know if it's a regional thing? I was born and raised in the foothills of the Smokey Mountains. My grandmother served gravy with almost every meat dish and bless her heart she showed me how. We don't have it too often...I don't think it's very healthy and it's loaded with calories, but we sure do love it!
Beef & pork = brown gravy
Sausage and poultry = cream gravy
Ham = Red eye gravy
Why is it called sauce if it's served with rice or noodles?
