Love me some pork chops, but we've been out. We have to make a tequila run to Brenham next week & plan on picking up 3 or 4 whole loins while we are there.
Looks GREAT!!!!!
A couple of nights ago I made half-plate-ommlets using eggs from the coop, tomatoes I canned this summer, potatoes & onions from the garden. Added ham, cheese and black olives from the store - soooo good!

Picked up 4 whole pork loins on Thursday... total weight was ~36 lbs. From them, I cut 56 chops (1 1/2" thick) & 4 roasts (~8" long). Got them all vacuum packed yesterday & then made a pot on pinto beans for this weekend.
While not for tonight's meal, we made 3 batches of 'spinach & ricotta stuffed shells' this afternoon (total of 75). Tomorrow we will vacuum-pack them 5/bag, so we will have quick, no fuss meals for when winter gets here (& I can't cook outside). They were made using spinach from the garden & our roasted spaghetti sauce. Here's the first batch:
Made a pot of extra spicy charro beans for tomorrow (they're always better the second day IMO) as we have company coming. I know I have to do steaks & garlic bread and I believe Mrs Ranch is going to make 'Twice Baked Potatoes' & a fancy salad...
Kicker is my friend's date is a vegetarian, LOL!!! Guess she can eat potatoes, salad & bread... unless I can get her drunk & get her to try some steak & the beans (contains a lot of ham & habaneros)!!!
It's been raining the last 2 days (finally), so it's another 'catch-as-catch can supper' here at the ranch... did some japs in the oven (bacon, extra sharp cheddar & seasonings), sandwiches (turkey/cheese for me & ham/cheese for my better half) & corn chips.
