Pork Chops & Fried Taters...
I had bought some really good thin cut pork chops at the grocery store in Memphis yesterday. I made some last night and made cheesy potatoes for a side, and tonight I made the rest and had fried potatoes for the side. The pork chop I made tonight turned out a lot better than the one I fixed last night. I had problems getting the heat regulated last night and it was a little on the crunchy side (but not burnt). I was proud of myself tonight on the fried potatoes. I don't make them that often because I suck at making them, but the ones I made tonight were the best I've done. I feel like I need to take a Fried Potato Cooking Class from my mom. She can make them crunchy, but done, but not mushy...something I haven't quite got down pat. I have to admit, even though everything wasn't quite like mom makes...it was pretty freakin' good!
Picture didn't turn out wonderful, but YUM! Definitely not part of any health kick...especially being a fried pork chop and fried potatoes.
The main reason I made the trip to Memphis was so I could take my aunt some business cards I printed up for her. Really yesterday wasn't the best day to go because IT.. JUST.. KEPT.. SNOWING... I decided since I was out and about that I should just take my camera with me. I'm getting so sick of the snow, but I took a picture of it anyway...
This is pretty much what it has looked like since the first snow. I think we may have had temperatures warm enough to melt a couple of the snows, but it hasn't went away! Hopefully when it decides to warm up, it will do it slowly. I'm afraid it will be a VERY muddy mess when it starts to melt!
Although I'm not ready for the mud after the melt...I'm ready for a major warm-up! Winter just seems to zap the energy and creativity right out of me! Anything I try to drum up creatively has taken me double the amount of time and my mental blocks have been double strength too! I'm just flat-out ready for warmer, sunnier, "happier" weather...
Well...I had better wrap it up and get ready for bed. Today was a BAD case of Monday (and I think it was for anybody else I had talked to)...hopefully tomorrow doesn't turn into a Terrible Tuesday!
