I made the damn tastiest pork chops the other day. I have to share the recipe, even though I didn't make it up. I found it on allrecipes.com. I had bought a giant pork tenderloin on sale, and froze it for a rainy day. Said day came on the weekend, so I thawed the badboy out. I cut it into chops, because that way I could grill it and it was a little more manageable. Anyway, it made like 10 chops, I cooked 5. You might want to add more stuff to marinate if you're making dinner for like, an army.
Juice of 2 limes (juice 'em good, with a juicer or a fork), about 1/4 C of olive oil, 2tsp oregano, sliced garlic (I only used 3 cloves because I was cooking for Grant and he's not a *huge* garlic fan like me), and salt and pepper. I didn't plan on marinating, so I only had time to do them for about an hour, but that was enough because the flavours are so strong, and the meat was already really tender...being a tenderloin.
That's all, it was good so I thought I should share.
I did laundry tonight, it was pretty GD exciting. Or not. It is, in that now I have clean undies, and in that I got to read some more of Bill Bryson. I learned this evening that Jean Picard was a real astronomer, and presumably the inspiration for our beloved Jean-Luc's name. Interesting, no? The book is fascinating, so far just because it's making me realize how incredible it is that we're here at all. It also points out though, that there's a very good chance that there are other advanced civilizations out there. Cool. Go have a look around, I've enjoyed all the books I've read so far. I'm always surprised when I see him, I think of him very much looking like the man I did my student teaching with, because they have a very similar sense of humour. However, they don't look anything alike, of course.
Ok, off I go again. T-12 days until Grant comes home for good. T-12 school days until vay-cay. wooh!
