Tonight's dinner was not what I had intended. I had planned on some pork chops cooked with cream of mushroom soup and a side of some kind. It was to be a fairly simple dinner. Well, Kaleb had picked out a recipe for stuffed baked potatoes that he wanted to make. Fine, it should be simple enough and will go well with the meat I'd planned so we set out to make them. Well, dinner suddenly turned into a more than 2 hour event. The potatoes had to be cooked (which took 1.5 hours) and then emptied out leaving a potato skin "shell". What had been scooped out was combined with previously cooked broccoli, cut up bacon, cheese, sour cream and milk. The mixture was put back into the shells and then cooked an additional 15-20 minutes.
While all that was going on I cut the bones out of the pork chops and put them in the pan with the soup. all in all it turned out to be a good meal but I rarely cook like that. My cooking is done as simply an quickly as possible. This is what the sink looked like after making dinner...pans and bowls overflowing because I used so many. Figured it was a rare sight so I'd better preserve it as the picture of the day.
