My bad. I came home from my Cardiac Rehab Exercise Session today
to find my double driveway blocked by some idiot with a minivan parked
crosswise. I had preplanned to do stuffed pork chop, Tilapia filet, Orzo
and Spinach as soon as I got home. Lo and behold, my wife's physical
therapist was there and of course was the offending parker.
Since I pretty much had everything prestaged, I got it all out and started
heating the oven and a pan for the Orzo.Sorry for the lack of pic's on
ABF. I was all assholes and elbows as it was. I had a two inch thick
porkchop bought special to stuff, so I split a pockit in it and stuffed it
with
thin sliced onions and whole wheat bread cubes. Finally I drizzled the
whole stuffing with EVOO to keep it from being to dry. Score one.
Made a new saltless rub of paprika, onion, garlic and black pepper
and coated the outside of that stuffed chop and tied it up.
Put it on a wire rack over a drip pan and into a 350°F oven. I settled
for a bread pan to do the tilapia filet. Put a layer of thin sliced onion
in the bottom covered with 3 or 4 slices of lemon, then the filet,
followed by more slices of lemon. Gave the filet the last 12 mins
of the oven course and it was a little too much. (The filet was
quite small and pretty thin). The Orzo which is a rice sized pasta
was boiled in the usuall pasta manner. the spinach was heated
in a boiler with a little water. The final plate was a winner, and I
sure wish I had had the time to take pics. You'll just have to bear
with me. It's hard enough to get food into my love without taking
timeout for pics. The spinach was all I had for color. It really
needed some red bell pepper or something to create visual
appeal.

I'm not exactly certain that you are responding to my post because you
included none of my origianal post, however, I'll give it a shot.

1. The wife is undergoing physical therapy for a broken hip.
2. The therapist is a she. No rub was used.
3. The therapist left before lunch, but requested the opportunity
to watch me stuff the pork chop. I got the distinct impression
that she didn't have clue how to ad lib a quick lunch.
4. I amazed myself, because starting with raw ingredients, I was
able to plate it and serve in about 45 minutes. That had to be a new
record for me.
5. Another amazing fact is that while I can't walk and chew bubble
gum at the same time, I can put together a four course meal on the
odd occasion with practically no mental effort whatsoever. That don't
mean I can do it on demand.
