Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

Remember when my deep freeze decided to temporarily not freeze over the summer? I still have food sort of divided between before and after, with before things like popsicles being added to smoothies, and before things like meat being, well–used up. (Because it didn’t thaw all the way, so it’s not spoiled, and I’m just too cheap to toss it all.) Yesterday, since my hubby was home for it, we tried these Grilled Kansas City Pork Chops for dinner, doing 5 pork chops instead of six because a)my oldest was at work and b)it’s what we had anyway. The rub got a little intense with only 5, although that may have also been because paprika isn’t my favorite…who knows. (By-the-by, I used smoked paprika because I like it better than sweet.) Overall, though, if you discounted the occasional freezer-y tasting bits around the edges, they were pretty good–although only my 15-year-old said she wanted them again. (Of course, my 9-year-old’s food votes are not to be relied on.) I think it probably comes down to whether the recipe sounds good to you–if it does, you’ll probably enjoy it, whereas if it doesn’t sound like your thing, you probably won’t.

Deep, right?
