Struggling With Pork Chops!

There is a first time for everything! And I do love experimenting with new things......well! Some new things! Depends on what it is. Since living here in the Chicagoland I have had many firsts----changing my own license plate, putting in my own anti-freeze, rear-ending a car. All kinds of things have been new to me!

Cooking is not new to me. I actually love doing when I get the chance. And I mean real cooking---not lean cuisine style! I love making up my own recipes too! I have had many occasions this past week to cook for myself! I LOVED it! So I decided to go all out and do some pork chops for Sunday lunch! You know, make myself something real special. So on Saturday afternoon, I pulled the old pork chops out of the freezer---a pack of 7. I proceeded to open the package only to find that all seven were stuck together.

No worries, I can handle this, I thought. Just pull a couple apart and thaw them over night.

Oh no! It couldn't be that simple. You see, since they were frozen, they kinda didn't want to come apart. So here I was. I didn't want to thaw all 7. Just 2. Just enough for a couple of meals. I pried, I pulled. I slammed, I pounded. And they wouldn't come apart. Stupid meat, I thought! So I grabbed a knife. This will do it, I said to myself. Oh no. Couldn't be that simple. Oh they broke apart. 2 and a half of them.

But I didn't want the half. I just wanted 2! I was persistent. I struggled to get that half off of the two and back with its half. I marched into the kitchen and ran water over my two and a half frozen pork chops. This will do it, I thought! Oh no! I struggled some more. Finally, after about ten minutes of this, they came apart. I proceeded to put the two in the frig, and the half back with its half back in the freezer.

Stupid Meat! I thought.
