I was having one of those days. It wasn't bad, but it was definitely not all good. I was tired, my body was sore, and I was starving. The phone call home made my day much brighter. Rudy informed me that he wanted to make a dinner with pork chops since we had just bought 10 nice and juicy pork chops from Costco the day before. I was already surprised and excited.
Then, he really threw me for a loop. He told me the recipe he really wanted to make was one he had found at Food Network's website, and the chef who created it was Giada de Laurentiis. He really dislikes her shows. I really mean it. Whenever I am watching one of them, he just rolls his eyes the whole time. But, he really likes her recipes, so sometimes he will suck it up. And I am really glad he did!
The porkchops were beyond delicious! The tomatoes and onions were heavenly; the potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside; the greenbeans were crisp with a hint of garlic. I normally talk and talk and talk, even when eating dinner, but that night, I was quiet as a church mouse. I was just wanted to savor every bite, willing the flavors to stay longer. But alas, the meal was eventually over. And this time, there were no leftovers because I just couldn't stop eating these delicious porkchops. But don't cry for me just yet. I have been promised another porkchop meal on Monday! So even though it is the start of the workweek, as well as the start of the new school year, I will be sailing through the day just by thinking about the night's dinner! Rudy, you can cook for me any day!
