Like a lot of you in the winter northern climates I kind of
slow down on cooking outdoors and need some comfort food. We have had a week of
20’s weather and it warmed up to 32 deg. for an overnight and daytime snow,
about 4 inches. I got the drive and front walks cleaned out in the morning. By
noon the snow had stopped so used the shovel and went over the drive and walks
again.
I had three nice pork chops from my butcher, some steamer
red potatoes and some cabbage left over from making kraut so that would make a good
supper. This would be about as simple as I could make it.
I put a layer of the red potatoes in the bottom of my
Crockpot, a layer of chopped cabbage. I browned the chops, a little salt &
pepper on top. They went on top and
added about a quart of chicken stock. The chops would steam on top. I got it on
at 12:30 on high for 1 ½ hours then on low until supper time.
I had my kitchen cleaned up and was just finishing shoveling
snow when the dil came to do some Christmas baking. That girl can do a lot in a
short time, by 6:00 she had several kinds of candy snacks made, about 6 small
and 1 large pumpkin breads baked and my kitchen all clean. She and the grandson
went home for their supper.
Our supper was ready in the Crockpot, served with some
cheese focaccia and butter. I had mine with the potatoes mashed and some
butter, salt and pepper over top. That hit the spot!
