Appearance Matters

[poliphilo]

I cooked pork chops, mushrooms, applesauce , mashed potato.  Ailz thought it was nice, so it wasn't entirely a mistake, but it looked quite awful- like an undifferentiated greyish gloop,  like porridge.  I ate it (I'm almost religious these days about not wasting food) but I didn't enjoy eating it- even though it tasted fine.  I don't normally think about the way food looks, but obviously I should.  A small pile of bright green peas would have made all the difference.

well, porkchops and applesauce taste FABULOUS cooked together. Maybe even the mushrooms and potato as well. But yeah, you're right. I'd probably not think so much of the 'grey glop', either.

Applesauce is the "only" thing to have with pork.

Onions. One of my favorite things to cook is apples and pork and sliced onions. Put 'em all in a casserole dish and bake them.

MMMM.

Yes, onions are fine- just as long as there's applesauce as well.

Apples and pork with sliced onions, browned on the stove top, then baked in casserole. Like halfmoon_mollie, I do that!
