a spot of musing about the dinner table...

i'm currently staying with my partner in his mom's house, and though she employs a cook/all-around house-helper, he and i occasionally - okay, often - find ourselves having to make our own meals because what's already in the pot isn't really appealing

hmmm. for pork chops, it depends on what you want it to taste like. i usually bake mine, because the sauce that comes out is also what you can use for gravy. :) i like mine with lots of garlic, toyo and suka, lemon or calamansi (depending on your taste) and oyster sauce. soak for about an hour. and then either pan-sear or bake.

as for risotto...not much of a fan. i'd rather cook some kick-ass pasta or seafood. :)

my current all-purpose marinade is olive oil, garlic, some soy sauce, some calamansi, and a wee hint of rosemary. that's usually an overnight soak. then pan-sear.

thank you for the idea, though. hope you're feeling a little better. *hugs*
