I hadn’t planned on making pork chops last night. I assumed I’d be cooking something seafood-related since she’s dieting again and doesn’t get tempted by fish. But halfway through our grocery run, she suggested pork chops for dinner.
Once the mise en place was done, the Offspring was collected and we headed off to the Autumn Equinox festival at Saint Arnold’s brewery. The festival started at six, so we were going to grab dinner there first and then hit the festival which is exactly what we did.
I’m a huge fan of Monster Ultra Peachy Keen. I love the artificial peach flavor, the fact that it’s only 10 calories, and, of course, all those ingredients that end in “ine.”
Overall, the fried green tomatoes turned out fairly well. As mentioned in the video, the iron skillet was a mistake, at least in that context. I was using it on one of those portable induction burner things and apparently the induction bit is only about 6 inches in diameter, and did not heat the pan evenly.
We almost didn’t make it this year, which I think would have been bad for both of us. We’re still dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl: physically, emotionally, and financially. If not for the Offspring taking care of the house and the dog, we probably wouldn’t have gone.
