What are you making for dinner?

Again another changing menu....it was supposed to be a couple of rib eye on the bbq with a side of chips.  I was going to get that bit of truffle butter that's in the freezer out to top it (bought at Aldi, I think, just before Christmas, about 75g selling for about £2 reduced to 20p as it obviously hadn't sold at all).  But we don't have enough chips.  So someone has suggested KFC instead.  I swear it wasn't me.  And don't mention it to anyone on the weight loss board.

lovely dinner tonight.

Went to a local community support farm shop and they picked some swiss chard fresh for me.  They also had nice freshly dug potatoes.  So those with a baked salmon made a lovely dinner.  I cut the stalks off the chard and will have those tomorrow or Monday.

forgot to mention dinner on Wednesday..... 

at Monday's art class we were doing a still life featuring some lovely looking pears (from a 4 pack from Tesco, lovely green through to red tones, perfect for a watercolour) and the tutor said she doesn't like pears to eat so the 2 of us there took them home with us. 

So the question was what to do with them.  I like a pear to eat, to have with breakfast yoghurt etc but was considering poaching them.  And when I googled how to do this came across a recipe to cook them with pork.  So that's what I did!!

1 onion fairly thinly sliced.
2 pears, not skinned but top, tailed, quarter and the core sliced away
1 long red pepper seeded, quartered and thinly sliced.
50 g feta cubed
2 pork chops.

So started by frying the onions to brown a bit, added the pear quarters and after a minute or two the red pepper.  Add a glug of cider I was planning on drinking with dinner along with a bit of soy sauce and worcester to deepen the colour and flavour.  When the pan was mostly deglazed I added the pork chops and browned for a few minutes on both sides and then left to ensure they were nicely cooked.  I was using a heavy all metal fry pan so I could then just throw the feta on top and stick under the grill for a minute or 2.  Served with mashed potatoes.  

All very tasty if I do say so myself.

I cooked a two week out of date gammon joint (oops) in the PKP last night so I had that with a crusty roll and pate!  The gammon smelled and tasted fine.  

It was what I fancied and, now that I have no children at home, I can do what I like! (I miss them though)
