I have COOKED ALL THE THINGS again!

[telophase]

Well, along with Toby, of course. We made Slow Cooker Pepper Pork Chops from Alton Brown, and they were EXCELLENT. And also too peppery (until we scraped off the pepper, then it was fine). Next time, we'll cut the amount of pepper in the final cooking mix (not in the brine) by half.

And also made classic lasagne bolognese (a bechamel sauce instead of ricotta cheese), and froze it in single-serving portions so we have something for lunch and "I don't want to cook, you don't want to cook" evenings.

And conferred with Mom and we're in charge of Thanksgiving evening dinner: we're having the main T-giving dinner at lunch, at my grandparents' retirement community, and there will probably be not too many places open for dinner there. So I bought makings for that. (Ham sandwiches made with pumpernickel - spread one piece with cream cheese and the other piece with Dijon mustard, sandwich ham in between. Served with random fruits and veg and chips as a side.) The bread is frozen so it'll last until Thursday.

And I hurt, in a generalized all-over way, from standing up and cooking, and running arouns hopping earlier. BLAH.

Single-serving frozen homemade leftovers are THE BEST.

Nom! Alton Brown is totally my culinary guru.

I adore that recipe! I scrape off the pepper too, although the spouse likes it peppery.

I'm planning on doing some cooking tomorrow, but not pork chops. It's stuffed pumpkin time of year!
