Last night's dinner with great leftovers


Sounds good. I haven't made fajitas recently, but I have taken to using top round instead of flank steak. I used to be that flank steaks were cheap, but no longer. The top round works better anyway, IMHO.

Chicken enchiladas
My favorite recipe is chicken mole enchiladas. No exact receipe, but this is what I do: A jar of good mole sauce. (I like...

For me, last night was pork chops in a sour cream mushroom sauce.

Egg noodles with beef gravy

Corn on the cob (roasted in the oven still in husk)

Applesauce (from a jar)

and dinner rolls.

The pork chops were browned with some onions, then I added the sour cream and mushrooms and a bit of beer since it needed more liquid. Simmered covered until shrooms were soft. I put some seasoned salt, fresh ground black pepper, and some sage on the chops once they were browned.

The beef gravy sounds odd, but I realized too late that we were out of butter for the noodles.

The whole thing was less than $10 for four people (two adults, two children), and $3 was just for the shrooms.

The corn and tomato salad you had sounds a bit like the salsas we make at home, with the corn and tomato ratio reversed and the peppers omited. And yes, it is eye-rolling good in season.
