a tasty debacle
yesterday started with a "tossing of the cookies" in the middle of 10th street. it was one of those pregnancy moments of "i feel sick; i think i might get sick; i am going to get sick; i got sick; i feel fine." strange to say the least as this has not been common for either pregnancy. i was just thankful not to have been on an avenue block - i at least could hide behind a car for my display of breakfast.
this lead to last night's dinner of braised pork chops with sage and tomatoes, modena style (page 422) along with sauteed broccoli with olive oil and garlic (page 477). so the debacle was the pork chops. it called for a can of peeled tomatoes and of course i got a can of crushed tomatoes. now it was still tasty, but what was lost was the flavor of the fresh sage; therefore, i don't think i can officially check it off as a completed recipe since it was no where near what it should have been. the broccoli - not my favorite. i think i still prefer it steamed with some lemon juice. we'll see how micah likes the pork chop for lunch today as leftovers. he'll never know that it could have been better.
