Breaking Pork Steaks

Wait? How many am I feeding dinner tonight? Head to freezer....

Yeah! Pork steaks B*tch!

Sunday afternoon with unseasonably mild weather in the Midwest... perfect to grab a lawn chair and cook.

Fire up the grill, screaming hot, turn down heat to med low and cover grill. Coat steaks with some bbq seasoning.

These are thick steaks, they'll need to cook slowly. I'll need to check on them every 15 mins. Once cooked, sauce and move to one side of the grill, only one burner on- indirect heat. Time to go back inside and cook.

Started a batch of mac n cheese... boiling water, pasta. Cook til tender.

Have these in the fridge... kids need to see a new food once in awhile. Artichokes are kinda fun to eat anyway... hands on and you dip in butter.

Trim off stems, slice up a lemon for the bottom, add an 1"+ or water. Can steam in pot on stove. I used pressure cooker for 12 mins.

Once macaroni cooks, drain and then put back into pot. Add healthy dollops of sour cream, half a log of velveeta, half a cup or so of any other cheese on hand (I used gouda), and 3 pats of butter. Low heat, cover and let the stove do most of the work as the cheeses melt. LOW HEAT or you'll burn the bottom. Stir occasionally.

That's like money in the bank. Speaking of money, time for the money shot:

 Time to watch the show...
