Day five Mission "Cabinet Dinner"

Friends are amazing!!  We had some friends over for dinner and movies last night.  So how in the world is a cabinet dinner going to work?  If you are anything like me when you have company for dinner you want to impress them with what you prepare!  Good thing I am at the beginning of my mission, I have food in the house :-)  Reverted back to a staple meal!!

Ingredients went as follows:

5 pork chops
8 potatos
1 bag of green beans

About an hour before dinner I took the pork chops and placed them in a ziplock bag.  In this bag was a combination of sugar, honey, thyme, oregano, sage, olive oil, garlic, paprika, and italian seasoning mix, plus a splash of water.  I never really measure out these ingredients, so whatever your flavor desire pour away!!  Those soak for at least a half hour before cooking.  Using my cast iron ribbed skillet I cooked the chops on medium.  Of course, potatos were peeled and boiled, making mashed potatos and I microwaved the green beans.

Comments from family:

Daughter - Too distracted with our friends to comment!!
