I went to my son's place for dinner. His gf made breaded pork chops which she soaked in pineapple juice, let marinate for awhile before breading them. It sounded horrible but they were actually quite good. She served fresh spinach pasta with an Alfredo sauce which she made herself with a pasta making kit my son recently bought her for her birthday. I would not like that for my birthday but she was thrilled with it. Since my son really likes Brussels sprouts she also served those, not home cooked, frozen from a Green Giant bag. I was skeptical when I saw her nuke them in the microwave, in the bag they came in, but they tasted great. They were nicely pre seasoned, surprisingly weren't mushy, and didn't stink up the house since they only had to be warmed not cooked. We had milk and water to drink. Afterwards just coffee no dessert because we were all too stuffed. I took most of mine home and there are enough left overs for two meals out of it. Wow! When she cooks she really cooks!
