Time does fly! Easter came and went and I haven't been here? My how I've missed the writing world. So many things have happened since I last posted. I've told you about the "drunken lemur" before so you will be familiar when I tell you that he has been drunk almost continuously for weeks now. I used to dislike him quite a bit and now it seems that I'm almost sorry for him? Don't get me wrong, I love my wine as anyone will tell you, but hard alcohol 24/7 is insane. He can't function much longer at the rate he's driving himself.

You know, the thing with the lemur is that when he's sober he's such a dishonest man. He would put you on the chopping block at a moments notice, tell lies about you to get ahead and cheat you if it meant more money in his pocket! When he's drunk he would give you the shirt off his back and give you back all the money he's stolen from you in the past! Figure that one out?

I dont' think that he will have his job for more than 6 months tops at the rate he's going. I'm pretty sure that one eye has his EYE on him. It truthfully looks like one eye is setting him up with too much to watch over (job responsibility). If it weren't for the Lemurs wife (who works there too) he would have been gone by now. She has been doing some of the minor work that he can't accomplish.

Well enough of the rant for now........I'm hungry! I think I'll make pork chops tonight with white rice and mushroom gravy? And of course some vino for libation!

I have 4- 1 inch thick pork chops (bone in-more flavor)

2 cups of white rice (I like sticky rice-Japanese style)

2 cans of mushroom soup for gravy (tooooo easy)See recipe for mushroom gravy!

garlic salt (to taste)

Pepper (to taste)

Olive Oil

Mushroom Gravy: 2 cans of mushroom soup, 2 cans of water. Mix in a bowl and set aside.

Directions: Wash and pat dry with paper towel your pork chops.Coat the bottom of your fry pan with olive oil. Turn heat to medium. Season your pork chops with garlic salt and pepper (fresh ground pepper always). Place pork chops in pan and brown both sides (medium golden). Don't cook through, you just need the browning on both sides for flavor. When you have both sides brown pour in your mushroom soup mixture. You will need a pan big enough to hold all 4 chops and the soup/gravy mixture or use 2 pans and split. Turn heat to medium low (more towards the low side) and cover. Check about every 30-40 mins and turn, cover again. 1-1 1/2 hours. Make YOUR rice, which ever you like. Like I said I love japanese sticky rice so that's what I make.

When chops are nice and tender, serve over rice or mashed potatoes.

Don't forget the wine!

Thanks for listening...........Dulce

That's Tiger the cat and of course the beginning of the worst storm we've had in years........Byeeeeeeeeeee
