People who know me and / or read this blog know that I rarely buy pork chops.
I quit buying them shortly after moving to France.
They were always too thin.
Instead I buy a pork loin and cut my own boneless chops. Normally I cut chops that are about 6oz (180gr) each, trimmed, which is perfect for us.
A few weeks ago there was a ‘pork fair’ and I saw a package of boneless chops that looked ‘right’.
I bought them.
They were a little thicker than the chops I remember buying in the past, but still rather thin, about 4oz (120gr) each.
So I did 3.

My pork chops were thin so we had 3. If yours are thicker you might increase the simmering time by 5 – 10 minutes.

This was the park next to the Prado in Madrid, We didn’t go inside but walked along the fence.
It was a perfect day – just warm enough with clear, blue skies.
I could walk for hours in a city….
I love to look at the buildings, the people, the street art.
So different than the farm fields I see when I walk here….
I’m torn when I walk in a city, even if I haven’t been there before, between gawking at the buildings and watching the people. I used to enjoy shopping at the mall, when we still had them, more for watching the people than the actual shopping. Not at Christmas though. Way, way too crowded then. I’ll go to our little town now that’s close to me, when the weather is nice and sit outside the local coffee shop and do the same. But it’s right on main street so it’s not quiet at all because it’s a one road in/out town and it’s busy. I have to be in the right mood.
I used to love Christmas shopping in actual towns on streets rather than in malls. I hate shopping to buy something but love wandering the streets and wandering through the stores.
Farmlands or cityscape I am just happy to walk band take in whatever’s on offer !
I’m the same – comfortable shoes is all I ask lol
