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 jalapeño 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.

Floating the Caddo River

We floated the Caddo River with some friends Saturday. The scenery was beautiful and the water was flowing nicely. It took us a little over four hours and we only flipped the canoe once. We came to some quick rapids and very low trees. While trying to duck under the trees, so our heads didn't get knocked off, we both leaned too far and there we went. Luckily everything was in dry bags and tied down. Well, almost everything. Kev was trying to put his phone back into the dry box but didn't get to it fast enough. His phone got wet, but seems to work ok after sitting in a bag of rice for a few days. I didn't have my shoes strapped tight so they slid off. A friend in front of us managed to grab one shoe and one paddle. We carefully walked the canoe across the rapid and dumped the water out. I will admit I was pissed off about my shoe. I didn't talk to Kev for awhile. I know it wasn't his fault, but I wanted to be mad at someone. He promised he would replace th
