Pork you're Apples....

it all began with an e-mail.....
some crazy recipe from some frugal gourmet .....

So i snap me this pic with MWSnap 3 and stick the picture right on my Sidekick 4g.
Ready to roll...
In a plastic container I mixed the following:
  • brown sugar 
  • cinnamon
  • nutmeg 
  • water
  • salt & pepper
  • butter
  • vegetable oil


I then added the 4 chops & plopped it in the fridge in the am!
I plan to cook this around 1700 on the grill instead of in a pan.
I also kept 2 chops for alternate grill action in the event of failure....

Later....

Pork You Yakisoba!!!

Well Ash made some super fabulous Pork BBQ over the weekend......yummy!



And we had some leftover.. so tonight I am making Pork Yakisoba. Basically this is a simple store bought shortcut meal that is really not that healthy I am sure, but every once in awhile I think I'll trade the not so healthy for the tasty & inexpensive & fast. I buy the Yakisoba noodles that come in a sort of squished looking cake and a little seasoning packet (which I am sure probably contains MSG). Chopped Onion, Celery, Minced Garlic, Cooked Pork that has been sitting in some left over marinade in the fridge & Shredded carrots. The trick to making the Yakisoba is really just following the directions. Place the noodles in a colander and run hot water over them to separate them. Make sure them are separated, use your hands. Stir Fry onions/celery/garlic two minutes, add meat & veggies - stir fry until cooked (Stir Fry on high for about 5 minutes if your meat is already cooked, just to reheat) add the noodles & the seasoning  - make sure there is some liquid in there or else it will stick to the bottom of the pan. Once the noodles go in, it should only be a minute or two, since everything is really already cooked. And Then you can eat your Yakisoba.
