Piggy Mountain Breakdown

Bought a whole boneless pork loin on sale $1.69/lb ~ weighed about 8 pounds ~ total cost was about $13.50 ... cut it up into 13 thick boneless pork chops, 4 thin pork cutlets for making schnitzel or pork tender sands, 1 pork roast and 3 servings of pork for stir fry. Retail cost on all these cuts would have been over $40

Here's the pork roast, seasoned & ready for a sear ~ then roast w/root veggies

Seared, pan then deglazed with beer & all the veggies added

Lid on and into 350* oven for about an hour ~ pork roast ~ ended up making a delicious horseradish gravy with the pan juices.

New Toy ~ CB500X Portable Grill

Perfect size for those time when you just don't have enough meat to cook to warrent firing up a big grill. This lil' grill can be used for direct grilling, or indirect smoking. It's on sale now on the Char-Broil web site.

Ok OK .... When dem ol' southern church lady cooks tell you how they make their pan fried chicken ... LISTEN UP.

I wasn't in the mood for potatoes and gravy, but I went ahead and made the roux wit them pan drippins. It will keep in the fridge for weeks, so I can make chicken gravy any time I want - lickety split.
