Haven't had chops in ages. My meat lady retired, so I don't get meat surprises from the butcher block any more.

I tried to talk myself into a nice, grilled burger....but I WANTED STEAK. At least it wasn't overcooked and the seasoning I put on it was good.
As you can tell (probably) I split the one rib eye for the two of us, as well as the baked potato. The broccoli was simply steamed in the microwave for 3 minutes & got seasoned with some butter & s&p. I put together one of Grandma's 'Everyday Salads' to go along side.
Was Looking over posts, and brought this one to Tina the retired Meat Girl. As far as select grade, that is the start, then Choice, and lastly, Prime. But there are several grades of prime, depending what the animal was fed, and some other factors. Select is tougher because of the lack of the marbled fat.
So as my mom would say when brother and I would cry as we couldn't chew the steak, she would say,..."Use your teeth; that's what God gave you them for!"

Busy day yesterday.....Son-in-law & granddaughter went to Universal at Disney for the day. It was her big 'vacation' wish and dad granted it. DD#2 and grandson went to St. Augustine with us. We toured the fort and went to (SO hokey.....) Ripley's Believe It Or Not. It was a hoot. I can remember the hay-day of Mr. Ripley and his 'wonders of the world' back in the 1950's. He would find all these incredible and weird items / people and draw 'cartoons' to let everyone in the world know of his discoveries.
So, there was no cooking going on. We stopped at a restaurant on the way home and had a nice seafood meal, brought a bunch home as leftovers that will (hopefully) get eaten by someone for lunch today. I have a feeling everyone will be pretty tired out today so it should be fairly quiet and low key ~ a day of rest.

Barb, you pic is mouth-watering gorgous! Makes me want to go get some pork chops and duplicate. What was the side sauce? It looks like grainy mustard but I'm not sure.

Yeah, most of those chops today, are packaged at the plants. When Tina brought home chops, she knew the brands and where the loins came from.
She more or less, hand picked / cut her chops.

I get mine at the local butcher shop. They have been in business for generations! The 3rd or 4th generation is there right now, along with their father...
Great meat and cold cuts. Fresh. It was the local neighborhood store before the supermarkets were born. It still is. Same old wood floor and same location. Since I started going there, it is the only place where I get my meat and chicken; and now cold cuts.
They will cut things fresh for you also. They grind their own hamburger also. When I want ground pork, all they do is take a boneless center cut chop and put it in the grinder for me. How much fresher can you get?

We have one of those kinds of meat markets but I find it so expensive I can't afford to buy anything.

Everyone wanted a home cooked meal tonight. Grilled a chicken (what could be easier?), Mashed Potatoes w/onion, sour cream & cream cheese, Baked Delicata Squash (first time I've found it at the Farmers' Market) & Penzey seasoned green beans. Tori's Apple Rose Pastry for dessert.

I'm jealous. Nothing like that here. I have my choice of Publix or Winn Dixie. Yuck to both.

I made a recipe by a local chef for a caprese sandwich. It had fresh mozzarella, pickled onions, marinated tomatoes, basil/garlic aoli, and arugula dressed in evoo. It was very good. The garlic had a hot bite to it. I wonder why sometimes garlic does that.

I read or heard somewhere if you cut the garlic in half and remove the center sprout (usually green) that your garlic will be sweet. Since I don't use garlic, I cannot attest to whether or not it is true. But it makes sense to me....I'd try it to see.

Took the words right out of my mouth Beth! Yes! the center yellow green root sprout on some garlic, is spicy in a hot peppery way.
Always remember the small garlic is more potent and strong than the larger garlic bulbs. Elephant garlic is closer to the onion family. Not as garlicy in flavor. More like onion taste.

Tina cooked dinner. Braised chicken thighs and a breast, in onions. Mashed potatoes, and stove top stuffing.
I had one heck of an appetite. Pulled an engine out of a 2004 Subaru Forrester.
What a pain in the rear that was.

I smashed the garlic and there was no green root. It must have been a very mature bulb of garlic. I think next time I will roast the garlic to make sure we don't have dragon breath for three days. I can't stand myself. I only ate two bites and I am still tasting the garlic.

To tell you the truth, there is just me. I do not cook everyday. For me it is easier to just pick up something when I want it. it is better portion control. Since I have just a regular refrigerator with a top freezer, the space is limited. If I buy a package of meat or chicken at the grocery store, I have to wrap and freeze most of it. The freezer gets full very easily. This way, I can just get what I want. I sometimes get just a couple of items and freeze the other. That way I have more room for other things in the freezer. And I have a larger variety of frozen stuff.

When I was in college and living alone, I could buy a sirloin steak and it would last all week. If it was just me my food bill would be nothing.

I would not give up my freezer for anything.When meat/poultry is on sale , I stock up like crazy.
When bags of frozen veggies are BOGO and or on sale I stock up..
It is just me , I am buying for . I am actually thinking of getting another freezer..
I am a very frugal shopper.

When you think about it, that is a great luxury.....wait until you decide you're hungry for something and then go pick up fresh. Before Mr. Amazing got down here full time I got in the habit of going to the grocery store for entertainment every other day. It was fun to just walk up and down the aisles looking at stuff and trying to get inspiration for a meal I was hungry for. I would plan a meal, while at the grocery store, depending upon what was on sale or if there was something being featured. Now that HE wants to go to the store WITH me....there should be a law against this!.....it's much more difficult. He believes in getting in/getting out ~ get what's on the list (and anything else that catches HIS eye....) and then get on with his day. Sometimes I actually say I'm going to check the mailbox and then go to the store just so I can go without him. LOL Full time 'togetherness' ain't all it's cracked up to be. Hahahahaha!
