An Experiment with Pork Chops and Pineapple

Tonight I decided to create a stuffed pork chop. I had a fresh pineapple that needed to be used and thought that making a cream cheese stuffing would be delicious. I cut up half a jalapeƱo pepper, a small red bell pepper, and a couple of handfuls of pineapple.

I mixed it with Parsley flakes ( I really wanted to use Cilantro, but I didn't have any.) Cumin, Chipotle Chili Pepper, and cream cheese. I have found this cream cheese Greek yogurt blend that I LOVE!
I don't usually measure when I cook. Only when baking. Anyways. I think next time I won't use as much cream cheese. It was a tad bit runny.
We intended on grilling, but a storm blew in and it was raining too hard. 
So, I whipped out the grill pan. As you can see, the filling ran out some.
The finished product.
Will I make it again? Probably so. I don't usually cook the same things every week, but I'm sure it will come around again. When it does, I will do a few things differently. I know I don't want to put as much cream cheese or chipotle powder in it. You never know with me. I hardly ever follow a recipe to a tee (Again, except with baking. It's a science. You can mess so shit up if you don't). I add or substitute all the time. That's what makes cooking so much fun.

Football Merchandise

It's football season and Walmart has all their Razorback merchandise out. I was browsing the aisle the other day and saw these. I immediately thought whiskey! A great way to sneak liquor into the stadium. Of course the back says intended for water only. Yeah right! No one looks at this and says water.

And a Roof

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

House Exteriors

 I spend most of my free time these days staring at the freaking computer looking for ideas for our house. There is a site Houzz . It's my new addiction. If you haven't ever explored it check it out. You can type in anything dealing with houses and get thousands and thousands of pictures to browse through. I look at EVERYTHING and pin the things I like on Pinterest. This makes it so easy to go back and review favorites. I have several boards dedicated to various rooms and the outside of the house. My focus these days is on the exterior. Hopefully in the next two weeks I will have a house pad and be ready to frame the house. I  know that I want a metal roof (not sure what color), cedar columns, stone, and cedar siding/shingles. not sure about color combination, how much siding or how much stone, and the front porch and walkway (the front yard will be pretty steep). I'm on Spring Break this week so I plan on visiting some lumber yards so I get a closer look at certain materia...
