I wish my wife wouldn't get nauseous when I broil lamb, pork, or steak in the house. Went to a local restaurant and had 2 butterflied pork chops broiled with just salt and pepper with a side of broccoli. Cost $29.95 and included a small salad (house or Caesar). I can buy a package of 6 for about $12.00 at Publix, but I don't need to have her complaining about the smell in the house. I don't use a BBQ because of the weather outside is usually rainy right now in SFLA.

I think that is a good guess (like smell changes during pregnancy) - what about if she wears a good n95 mask (the good ones don't allow odors in if fitted properly - even with non medical ones I've had issues with things I tried to smell while shopping) while you're cooking and thoroughly airing out the place after cooking before she takes the mask off (sort of simulating the cooking in a restaurant kitchen followed by serving in a different room)?

It didn't go well. She complained that it needed salt (because the salt in the recipe wasn't enough), and then complained that the carrots weren't cooked enough because they were tender but not soggy. My father liked it though.

I read the recipe and wondered about the relatively short cook tine.

I modified the recipe a bit. I started the veggies first and cooked them for 3 or 4 hours, then added the chicken. That way, I didn't have to reheat the chicken. I'm not a fan of mushy veggies, so they were fine for me.

My mother cooked pork chops in the crock pot tonight. They were decent, but I feel like every meal she makes includes soup or soup mix of some sort. Tonight's included onion soup mix.

our supper guests are bringing supper from La Corneta taqueria. I told them that Id make guacamole and pico de Gallo plus that I have Jarritos and topo Chico.
oops its starting to oxidize so I wrapped them. I prepped an hour ago because I didnt actually know their eta and these are potential future inlaws.
who doesnt?? Omg I love salt. If it wasnt for sodium and daily suggested limits. I love salt sugar sweet alcohol tobacco canna gambling. I love all vices. I would love to sit and eat chips and smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol and eat cake and ice cream all at the same table. Omg.
