First thing this morning this morning we got an email from the Escapees who handle our mail that a large envelope shipped yesterday to our current location. That should be the income tax stuff we need to finish the tax preparation. YAHOO.
During preparation of some stoup yesterday we got a big surprise. As is usual when getting ready to cook meats the OFM checks his cookbook known as the Internet for meat preparation recommendations. A couple of the new sites we visited stated we should not cook pork chops in micro wave ovens. They never did explain why with any actual details. We have been preparing pork chops in the microwave since starting to cook for myself 26 years ago. And these we ate tonight came out just wonderful. Cooking to meat temperatures is still the best way to prepare meat in our opinion.
Speaking of wonderful here is a picture of the bowl of stoup made with thin pork chops meat and Knorr Spanish Rice mixture with a few bits of bell pepper and some diced green onion.
The day was good weather and we made good use of it to map out a new walking route to get a walk in of around 2.5 miles. Our first try came in at 2.6 and the second try at 2.7. So know we have two routes to use for variety in our life. The path out the front of the campground along the golf course is about 2.8 miles. We now have three total to choose from and that is nice when the wind is blowing and we need to block it for comfort.
Healthy moderate exercises and good nutritious foods are the mainstay of a good life we believe.
And one more minor event. At Walmart yesterday a new coloring book was purchased with smoother and much heavier paper to try out. Our first impressions are that the OFM may need some serious learning to learn how to use this better paper well. Our reaction as the revelations came to us was O BOY, NEAT NEW THINGS TO LEARN! Do it looks like the OFM has new stuff to keep him happy for a few months again.
OK every one eat well, exercise with what fits you and try hard to have tooooooo much fun.
Oh for pete's sake. A microwave cooks pork chops til they're done just like any other method. Maybe the recommendation had to do with having moist or tender or crispy meat? I can't imagine. It certainly can't be a safety issue....most probably a taste/texture issue. Soup looks good! Glad you had some decent weather.
ReplyDeleteFebruary has become very gentle and fine here....was even able to grill on my back porch and be comfortable before supper.
Glad you got a new coloring book to work with as we enjoy seeing your work - you're Masterclass!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the nice compliment.
