So traditional

Because we didn't have a hook-up for water again tonight, it was another of those times when I didn't want to use the cast iron skillet (too hard to clean up without easy H2O access). But my mouth was set on some Homer Simpson pork chops.

Again, I used the little baking pan on the stove, and cooked up some onions and garlic in olive oil, then added the chops to the pan for a bit of browning. Added a bit of the homemade barbecue sauce from the fridge, and popped the meat into the oven.

With sides of frozen peas and instant mashed potatoes (the kind with garlic), the tradition endured. And oh, how good the mix was -- swirling all those peas into the creamy potatoes!
