Pork chops, rice and grilled veg salad

GrateEggspectations

Pretty rainy day here today. I’d complain, but it’s so good for the lawn (nod to @TEXASBGE2018). 

Thawed some chops and simply tossed them into a brine from a recently-finished bottle of bread ‘n butter pickles this morning. Against better judgement, I am sharing pics. Don’t judge. 

Sides were jasmine rice (feat. Better Than Bouillon) and a roasted veggie and fresh spinach salad with feta. 

Redneck’d it on the front porch MM.

I feel like I’m maybe being trolled here…

I think I’m missing something.

Well, for starters, your pots are about six times larger than your cremes.

We were going to make them in smaller jars, but because we didn’t have enough of them for the entire batch, we instead used these. Wouldn’t have looked so out of proportion had we made the bourbon whipped cream topping that the recipe called for.

Did you SV them in those huge jars?

Actually boiled and reduced the liquid on the stove and only transferred to the jars for cooling.
