Usually apple sauce is as a side with me but I HAVE been known to sear a pork chop and then lower the heat and add apple sauce to the pan. I could easily see some apple sauce added to my kielbasa and sauerkraut.My bro-in-law does pork w/applesauce & sauerkraut. Sounded iffy but neither too sweet nor too sour, pretty good!!
We're having tax time tacos late. My husband did most of the prep & opened wine
When I lived in Texas I lived for a while with a lady that taught me how to use soft corn tortillas and deep fry using tongs to form the shell shape. Fried enough to have a bit of crunch around the edges and hold the proper shape. Good stuff and I like. This lady could cook Tex/Mex like no one I've ever met including restaurants. At one time before we met in Texas she owned a bar/restaurant in Arizona. If I remember right she dis green chili burritos for lunch twice a week and would have people drive 50-60 miles each way to eat. Best green chili I've ever had in my life. I've thought about trying to match myself but have never done as I know I would be disappointed with the results. She was TOTALLY from scratch with anything she cooked. Her green chili started with both a pork and beef roast in a stockpot covered with water and slow cooked for hours and then medium cubed. Use canned green chili? LOL! She'd probably slap you upside your head if you were brave enough to even suggest such a thing. The result was a really big baking pan of green chili that was to die for. She was half Blackfoot American Indian and looked the part including the long, straight, raven black hair, beaked nose, the whole thing. Not as to her face much, although she was quite pretty, but just with the 'look' she could have been a stand-in for Cher which is sort of funny as Cher is in no way American Indian regardless as to how much she looks the part at times. She was also a bit tall at a bit over six feet. Then there was me... 5'8", long sun streaked hair, black mustache. Very few of our mutual friends called us Jay and Valerie; they called us Sonny and Cher.
One of the perks of living alone as I eat what I want, when I want and how I want with no complaints from someone who isn't even doing the cooking. 
nothing like the university of you-tube. there is a lot of savings that can be had if you use that potential. I use it all the time working on my diesel truck and anything metric to know what wrenches to get out to do the job instead of being under a vehicle and have to crawl back out to get a different wrench or socket. that activity is hard on an old guy.
Burger and fries is now for tomorrow, Tonight is now going to be red sketti sauce and meatballs with cheese raviolis.
can't do any jalapeño in the meatloaf, the wife won't allow it. we cook big time on everything we make. seal up everything in dinner portions and at 10 minutes notice we can have one heck of a dinner variety.
soup this week
