Psst….It’s true what the say: two many females leads to too much drama and such is the case with Hurricane Irene. She can’t be in my girlfriend posse. She is rude and makes everything about her. Hunh!
FYI: Besides a sore body from moving many tree limbs and sticks, we are a-okay!
I will share more on Hurricane Irene and all of our goings on soon but up first, the other meal we made while cooking up perishable foods before Irene came a-callin.
We had parsley, cilantro, & garlic to use as well as pork chops and some vegetables.
This was super simple recipe that gives you no excuses for a tasty din-din.
Quick & Easy Herbed Pork Chops Recipe (4 servings)

Our town borders CT and yup, due to power outages we now start school Tuesday instead of today. Glad you are safe.

Sounds like you made it through Irene without too much damage. We didn’t have much, although 80% of our town lost power and the start of school was delayed. Nice way to clean out of the fridge!

I’m glad you made it through safely! This pork chop recipe looks like an easy and flavorful meal after a long day of moving limbs.

Wasn’t it kind of fun living like they did on the pioneer though? Pork chops are one of my favs!
