After having done the pasta, I now decided to thaw out the pork chops and have them grilled for dinner. I was unable to marinade them before cooking, as I was still tired from all the other chores I did today.
Still, I decided to massage each piece with minced garlic and some 'magic sarap' ingredients before grilling. Apparently, the kids liked it - though Bryce did say it was a bit bland to the taste - bu in my book, bland is healthy, and they could just add seasoning for taste. The only problem... and I don't know if I could have done something about it, was how tough the meat was. Damn tough, really. On the up side, we did get to eat our meals - it was only tough in the tendon area - the meat was eatable.
And, since Barbie was not around to eat the 5th piece with us (Ben was having dinner with us, and Bea did not come as we thought) I just told Bryce to half the last piece for the two dogs. It was funny to see how Bubbles was trying to eat her piece without dropping any portion - a task made harder by the fact that her mouth was much narrower than the piece given her.
Milestone check: I've got just 45 more days before this blog ends - after all, after my project 365, what else will I place here? And as I've been mentioning in the past, I may retire the idea of doing another project 365 after this. Not because I don't find it a nice thing to have... but maybe I'm just too close to the idea right now. After all, three years is probably too long a time to do one thing without losing interest.
Who knows? I just need to rest and not do this for a while, and I may find myself missing it after a month or three - then opt to do it again. Or... as I said, I might try a variation of the idea - still maintain a blog... most likely a separate one, and consider more than one picture in some days - or even skip some really boring day altogether, and just put in a brief text about it.
