"OH! That's my favorite!!" Chris exclaims! "Uhm, Chris...I've never made this before."
"OH! I mean mmmmm pork chops, that's my favorite!!!" (Damn he's so easy to please!!!)
Either way, this meal was splendid! The sweetness of the honey was wonderful and not too sweet either, and the mixture of the cloves and cinnamon blended well with it. It was perfect! So, maybe now, Chris can actually say it's his favorite...and mean it!

You've done it again. What lovely looking chops. I haven't cooked anything worth posting for a couple of days. That changes tonight. I made posole yesterday which we'll be having for dinner. I'm worried that it's a little too spicy for Peter, but I don't know what to do about that. Maybe I'll try the technique that's useful when a soup or stew is too salty: cut up a couple of potatoes and throw them in. I wonder if it will work for spice as well as for salt.
ReplyDeleteThe chop looks amazing! This sounds like it'd be a hit at my house too. I'll be making this sometime soon I'm sure :)
ReplyDeletejust butting in on your comments too LOL
Steven - dairy helps reduce the heat in foods that are too spicy. Usually when my green chili (or whatever) gets too spicy I add a dollop of sour cream and some shredded cheddar and the heat levels are back in the tolerable range. Hope that helps!
