I have a perfect excuse as to why I did not post this yesterday. You see the last few posts I have made on this blog were pre-written over a week ago and then scheduled to be posted. I had to do this (and should have done it for this post too) because this weekend I was at Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL). It was so much fun… with three days of non-stop music! But needless to say that since I was there I had to pre-schedule the last few posts on here. And since this weekend wiped me out I was WAY too tired to blog this recipe last night.
I actually made this recipe from this month’s cookbook of the month over a month ago…. right when I started to get on this pork kick. This recipe is very similar to one I made last month from August’s cookbook of the month. There are a few slight differences and the recipe I made last month uses a pork loin instead of a pork chop. I really liked this recipe (I did make some changes and my version is below) but do have to say that I like the recipe for the pork loin better. Not that this is not any good I think it is that I just prefer pork loin over pork chop for my cut of meat. So, I think I will have to go back and remake this recipe using a loin.
