Cookin'

Anyone who knows me in recent years knows that I like to cook. I'm not really a baker, but if it involves lots of fire, knives, chopping and many pots and pans, I'm there. As my wife has observed, I can make a huge mess just preparing the simplest meal.

I am posting some pics of a coupe of my favorite meals to prepare. This is Pan Seared Shrimp with Lemon Garlic Sauce:

The shrimp were frozen and had to be shelled and deveined before cooking. It's pretty smelly work, but delicious. My daughter likes BBQ shrimp better, but this dish not only tastes good, but looks good too.

This is Smothered Pork Chops. This is a family favorite. It's mostly just braised pork chops and a lot of onions, but the addition of fresh lemon-thyme and bacon puts this dish over the top! The chops and sauce are wonderful served over spaghetti or linguini, and leftovers are even better the second day.

Looking at these makes me hungry. I think I'll go and make some dinner.

Eet Smakelijk!!
