Dinner Anyone?

So it ended up being a busier weekend on the ol' (faux) homestead this weekend. The um, heavy rain yesterday afternoon didn't help, as we all know how conducive that is to napping... Yeah, two glorious hours and well, I'm sure you get the picture, ha ha!

Also - life is short, eat dessert first...

Because I did promise my classes I would make them my mother's world famous cheesecake, and so make it I did! Here's a picture of it:

This is actually a double recipe, since one fits in a pie plate alone, lol. But I have enough students and others that I needed to share with, so I've managed to work it out to fit in the big dish. Everyone seemed to love it, judging by the requests for the recipe, lol. (And no - not sharing! The one family recipe I am *not* allowed to give out, lol)

Anyway - I had also been planning to try an experiment with some pork chops. And there were all these new potatoes around, and rosemary, so...

Here it is! Did this one yesterday, as well. Breaded pork chops, rosemary potatoes, and homemade apple sauce:

It turned out really well, if I do say so myself. Needed more rosemary on the potatoes, but next time I'll know that. Besides, my little rosemary plant is still little, lol. 

So yeah, a productive day in some ways. I'm pleased with the results.

Soon - I swear, that book review! I finished the book days ago, so I'm working on it.

Thanks!
