Haven't posted a lot lately because I have cooked for guests lately and didn't have time to take pics. Picked up some thick cut pork chops from the meat market the other day. Rubbed with salt, pepper and olive oil. Seared at 500*, then brought egg down to 400 and roasted about 4-5 minutes per side until 145*.
Wifey made mac and cheeese and steamed some veggies with potatoes, broccoli(sp),carrots. She sauted some onions and mushrooms also. Also picked up a 6lb pork butt which is still on, will be used for tomorrows night dinner and frozen for beans in the future.

    Nice AG. always like big chops. The wife's sides sound great too. My guest's have gotten used to me telling them to step back for the pics. They still think I'm crazy but they are used to it now. :silly:

    If I have the math right? It would be one for your wife, one for your daughter, and one for you. That leaves three for me. :woohoo:

    Excellent looking cook, and great looking family. Thanks

    Great looking cook Sir ! My wife and stepson are die hard Nole fans stuck with a die hard Alabama fan. I pull for the Noles when they are not playing BAMA.

    The chops are nearly as beautiful as your family, AG.

    The chops are rally good, if you haven't tried them I suggest you do. Wife doesn't eat beef so this is our ribeye/flatiron steak meal.

    Mike in Abita--your math is off a little, the real chow hound (17 yr old son) never seems to want to get in the pic. So never really alot of leftovers. He already has plans to make him so lunch for his schlitterbahn trip tomorrow with the pork butt that is on the grill.

    Thanks all for the compliments it does help to cook when there are two cuties waiting for you. Well, three if you count the son, got to get him started on the egg;)
