I made his second favorite (his first is my stew) . Fried pork chops : so everyone thinks to coat in egg, then flour , don’t do that rinse the meat with water , make sure it’s not dripping wet then coat in flour and seasoning and coat till there is no moisture peaking through then dry in your oil (don’t over heat the oil ,mid high is a good range ) cook 4-7 min eat side depending on how thick cut they are and put on some paper towels )or a clean dish towel ) to soak up excess oil. The result is a nice crispy crust that doesn’t just fall apart .

Mashed potatoes.

And my famous black eyed peas . I seriously have to make a batch for a family of 6 with him because he will eat all of it within the night. Bacon and onion and fresh tomato is added to them with a scoop of butter and seasoning (I sometimes add a touch of chicken stock ) they are the perfect consistency and so yummy .

I also made mushroom gravy (he wanted his chops smothered ) .

I love to cook and make sure bellies are full!
