George Costanza...fashion ICON?

haha via startfinish...

I bought too many pork chops...

...and I got sick of eating plain grilled chops... So I decided to experiment a little bit, reaching back to my Chinese roots. I took out the chops from the fridge and let them sit at room temp for about 15 min so the meat can tenderize and release the moisture. Then I marinated the chops with soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, and a tiny bit of lime and ginger. I heated up the wok with oil and diced garlic (very important, the Chinese begin every dish with garlic in oil). I threw in the chops and let them cook until about 70% done. Then I took them out and sliced the meat into strips (see picture), leaving the sauce in the wok. I then threw in the diced veggies (onions and peppers) and added a little bit more soy sauce. I put the meat back in and stirred until fully cooked, then finished off with a little secret ingredient...sesame oil. This took about 20min total to make. Not bad for a Monday night!

Bacon Cone

Mmmm...bacon...cone...

Sustainable Cooking!

I was milling around in our office break room today, and the normal moronic CNN anchor was replaced by a fast talking, good looking young chef from DC. He was talking about how our current cultural obsession with eating healthy has caused a unsustainable consumption of fish such as salmon, tuna and even hoki. He suggested that we eat more plentiful and easily sustainable fish (and still good for us!) like anchovies and sardines. So I decided to make his cucumber with anchovies recipe. It turned out delicious. A wonderful start to our main course of porkchops and couscous.
