Today, we took the old burned-out TV to the electronic and hazmat disposal site. After that, we did the weekly grocery shopping and stopped at the sporting goods store to get some pistol and shotgun ammo and targets – you know – the bare necessities.
Before we went on our errands we made the marinade for some 1-inch thick pork loin chops, We juiced some oranges from our recently-harvested dwarf orange tree, added some honey and coriander with a little salt and gourmet pepper and refrigerated with the chops in a zip lock bag.
When we got home, we sliced up some fresh pineapple and put the slices in to the broiler with the chops. I whipped up a bourbon-orange reduction, and steamed up some rice and broccoli.
On a busy day with lots of errands to run, it’s nice to be able to whip up a sumptuous meal in about 45 minutes. So easy and so good.
In my Hawaiian pigeon, “Da kine grinds dat brok da mouth”, or as you would say in Torrance, “sumptuous”! Although, my version of a bourbon-orange reduction would be in a glass tumbler with ice! Bottoms up!
Too bad you can’t use the old TV for target practice. You could get revenge for all those reruns, bad reality shows and the nightly gloom and doom news casts.
Sounds great. Every time I have pork I thank God I am not a follower of islam
This was surprisingly good – we have lean pork dishes a lot. Once in a while, though, we get a pork shoulder and have pulled pork sandwiches – tasty, but not so heart-healthy. And, yes, Kini’s right as usual about the interesting drink idea – I’ll give that some thought.
Kenny is right about middle-eastern cooking. We’ll have our pork and they can have their goat-head stew or whatever – ewww!
