Small glitch but back on track. Pork Chops today; Chicken casserole tomorrow.

So I did what I set out to make last Friday: we had a cold collation, I made a rhubarb cobbler for dessert, and I prepped the potatoes for Saturday's pork chop and potato dinner. What I forgot was that the family was going out to dinner Saturday to celebrate a wedding.

Great time had by all, and several of us tried fried pickles( not I as I loathe pickles) and pronouced them wonderful.

So back on track today.

Took the kids to the movies at 3:30 so dinner had to be on asap when we returned. As the potatoes were peeled and in the pot, it was quick work to cut up some apples as a side dish, as well as make a salad. Dinner in 35 minutes. After dinner , on to prepping tomorrow's meal.
As I type now, my chicken stock is boiling merrily away.
I cut up a whole chicken, saved the breasts for chicken nuggets later in the week. I put the rest of the bird, including the 2 legs , in a pot with leek tops and some carrots.
So now I'm reducing the stock while letting the chicken cool in the fridge.
