Almost everything is packed.
Except all the stuff that doesn’t really fit anywhere….
The movers come at the crack of dawn on Thursday; we turn over the keys Thursday evening and we are homeless.
We’re spending the weekend in the mountains in Spain with the girl dogs (maybe a bit of shopping in Andorra….) Our friend has a radio phone (rather than actual land line or mobile) so no internet.
We get our worldly goods back in hand at the crack of dawn on Tuesday and the fun begins.
I will only have ‘cafe WiFi’ for two or three weeks – Rumor has it that all McD’s have WiFi and there’s one about 20 minutes from us.
The point, you ask?
I’ll be taking a technology-imposed internet break.
I’ve scheduled some new recipes and some of my favorite old posts to keep you entertained until my active return.
I’ll be reading your blogs as I can, so know that, even if I don’t leave a comment (the WiFi can be, um, iffy), you are in my thoughts… and my Google Reader.
Deviled Pork Chops, Grilled
Pork chops with a kick, marinated and cooked on the barbecue grill. If you want them hotter, more ‘devilish’ you could add a drop or 2 of Tabasco or other hot sauce.
2 – 4 pork chops, boneless, – depending on size 12oz total weight (350gr)
Marinade
2 tbs course ground mustard
2 tbs orange juice
2 tbs Worcestershire Sauce
1 tbs paprika
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp dried tarragon
2 tsp dried rosemary
1 tbs olive oil
Mix all ingredients for marinade and brush on chops. Let marinate for 10 – 15 minutes. Cook on barbecue for 4 – 7 minutes a side or until done. Should be slightly pink in center when done – take a peak (techniques). Or fry in nonstick skillet over medium-high heat the same amount of time. Serve.
Oh those pork chops look lush beautiful! Must try.
Enjoy the break and friends. Hope the move is as uneventful as possible. That’s funny about McDonald’s because thats going to be my main connect for the next two weeks to probably.
So you are finally making it to Andorra again? Contact me if you plan to go a bit more down south! I would be delighted to meet you!
Hope everything goes well with the moving… I hate moving!
Those deviled Pork chops look like they will give you the strenght to face the moving 😀
Good luck with the move Katie. I hope there will be many happy years in your new home:D
Hope the move goes well!
Good luck! Looking forward to your “return.”
Good luck with your moving, fingers crossed there won’t be any surprises. Take care!
Best of luck with the move, Katie. We’ll be here when you get set up and blogging again.
Gook luck, looking forward to your internet-return.
Those pork chops look so tasty!
Good luck with the move! I totally feel for you. Brian just got all settled into his new house and I am still recovering some 2 weeks later. You’ll be missed….hurry back!
🙂 Stacy
All the best in your new home and hopefully you’ll have an enjoyable and much deserved rest between Thursday and Tuesday.
I’m already eager to have you back blogging to get your funny take on the whole thing.
Good luck on your move and a couple week internet break is never a bad thing.
Thank you, thank you everyone for your comments…
I am borrowing internet at the moment, so, please believe how happy I am that you are reading and commenting… but I only get minutes per day… I read them offline!
I treasure them all, and will get back to reading all your blogs soon!
And a special thanks to my new readers/commenters… I’ll visit when I have real internet again, I promise!
Katie…
These look heavenly – the kind of thing you could do quickly after work on a weeknight! I hope the move went well and is now just a distant memory…
