Continuing this week's quick supper series, I give you the recipe for a quick & delicious one-skillet meal. To be honest, there was a side dish, creamed mixed vegetables, which required a small pot. No photos. Sorry.*
SWEET POTATO PORK CHOP SKILLET
1 Tbsp shortening
4 center loin chops
1 medium onion, sliced
1 bell pepper, sliced [home grown]
4 medium sweet potatoes, about 1 lb. total, peeled and sliced thin [home grown]
1/4 tsp leaf thyme
1/4 tsp marjoram
salt & pepper, or creole seasoning, to taste
14.5 oz. stewed tomatoes, preferably homemade [home grown]
* Sidda, one of Daughter C's two cats, died today-- or late last night. What with conveying the news to C who's already in North Carolina, digging the grave, piling rocks on it, comforting Snaps-- her other cat-- and trying to figure out what in the hell happened, I just didn't feel like taking pics of supper.
How old was Sidda? Any indication of an other than natural death??
ReplyDeleteWe had one old cat that died at the ripe old age of 17 or so. It appeared that she had just died in her sleep. Another one - I heard some caterwauling outside on the patio (just outside our bedroom) during the night, but it seemed brief and ended quickly. The next morning, I found cat in the garage and apparently, he bled out from a very small wound in his neck. Looked like the other cat just got a lucky tooth into his jugular. These days, we usually feed only at night - so that the cat(s) come in, then close them in. We have coyotes that traverse the property on their way from somewhere to somewhere on a regular route. Even so, we've lost two that just simply disappeared. Unlikely that coyotes got them in the daytime, so either it was hawks, or they just decided to move to somewhere they liked better.
We can't figure it out. Sidda must have been 10-15 years old. We do let them out during the day, but they are mostly house cats-- and with our travels, they'd been inside for some time. She'd been loosing weight, though, so we're just assuming it was something natural.
