What's for Dinner, Tues., Aug. 27, 2019

Pork chops. The RG has them cooking in the cast iron skillet on the stove. They are very large pork chops and he has them in some kind of broth with potatoes and herbs. I want mine with apple sauce.

I bought a tray of miniature cornbread loaves, so they will go great with the chops.

Stopped by my other school garden and found some turnips that were pretty good sized. I brought them home and by the time I'd unloaded the car, the RG had a couple peeled and added to the pork chops!

I discovered something interesting about cornbread. If you put a sage leaf on top of a slice of cornbread, it's delicious--what a treat. We have a big sage plant outside the kitchen so I just clipped some off to have at dinner.

There's a large tossed salad with red ruffly leaf lettuce and the usual summer chopped vegetables.

No dessert here tonight; I'm going to my girlfriend's and she's fixing some sort of dessert there. Probably fruit since she's on WW.

I am using last night's chicken and veg to make a hash...two poached eggs on top per person...all sorts of vegetables. And cantaloupe for dessert. There is fresh bread for those who want it...not for me as I like your friend am on weight watchers...enjoy!

I usually ask for one instead of cake for my birthday, as peaches are in season that time of year.

We're getting down to the end of the food for the month... not much left. We only need to make it to Friday, so we're all set.

For Dad and Sis:

Probably the most beautiful rib eye steak I've ever seen, and Dad said it was the best steak he had eaten in "A LONG TIME." I made potatoes O'Brien in a pouch on the grill, and served peas.
