So tonight I decided to have some fun cooking dinner. I ransacked the Freezer, fridge and cabinets. Then I started cooking while my wife watched and wondered.
Two Boneless Pork Chops were hammered flat and thin. As I hammered them out I lightly sprinkled them with Garlic and just a hint of Rosemary. Then they were double dipped in eggs and breadcrumbs before being set gently into a hot fry pan with butter.
As they cooked I dumped half a box of Elbow Macaroni into boiling water and cooked them. I also added a couple more eggs to the now nearly empty bowl of eggs from the meat and whipped them together with a couple of pinches of the breadcrumbs.
When the meat was done it was transfered to a platter, the Fry Pan was lightly scraped To the scrapings and dripping was added a cup of thin sliced mushrooms and a handfull of thin sliced Onion. When the onion started to turn a cup of red wine was poured in and heated making a nice gravy.
After pouring off the gravy the pan was wiped out, a bit of butter added and four Yam Patties placed in it. When these were done the pan was again scraped out.
To the fry pan I added the noodles and the eggs. When they were mixed together I turned up the heat a bit and fried this mess. When it was done it was dumped into a bowl and dinner was served.
A bit of a feast. Now here comes the great part. It was cheap. The chops were picked up on sale at $3.69 a pound. (A 4 pack came to $3.80 or .95 cents each.) The Mushrooms were .50 a package and the onion came from a bag I picked up for $2.00. The eggs go for .69 a half dozen or .12 each. The Yam Patties cost $2.00 a package with 20 patties per package. The wine I scoffed from my wifes bottle and the Elbow Macaroni goes for .29 a box.
Let's see that adds up to a total of $3.43 for the meal for the both of us. I can live with that.
