June 4, 2012


MENU FOR THE WEEK OF JUNE 4, 2012

We’ve cooked and consumed a fair amount of French food recently and thought it time to return to some of my American basics.  Key West Pork Chops for one. Tasty, easy, healthy.  Six bone in (preferred) chops browned and then placed in a braising pan under rice.  On the chops are slices of large onions, lime and dollop of chili sauce and several cups of spicy tomato sauce does the dish.  In the oven for an hour – and great for leftovers.  Thank you Mr. Claiborne.

Meatloaf.  What’s more local, home food than that? This is moist, has flavor. Love it with pasta  and additional tomato sauce.  Then Pulled Pork.  Pulled Pork is Barbecue, Summer, Americana and good friends all rolled into one. You can’t do pulled pork for two unless you are taking it out of the freezer.  Not here.  But you can’t eat this alone, so  we have called in Mike and Amy as reinforcements.  So we try and make it a bit more festive.




Mind you, I’m not ceasing to cook from the French repertoire,  just sometimes one needs a break to hone one’s thinking.  And perhaps next week a bangers and mash…..
