Summer Surprise

Its my first day of stay-cation, or at least vacation from my day job. I am off for a whole week. I came home early from helping my husband out today, and decided to work on supper.
Last week, it seemed we had a thousand things going on in the evenings. We had intended to eat these pork chops on the grill one night. We never made it around to it and by now I really figured they were bad. After given them a good sniff they smelled fine, the looked fine, so I decided it was time for a mid-summer treat! A lettuce and tomato pork tender sandwich.
I tenderized my pork chops and fried them the good ol' fashioned way, breading, buttermilk, oil. I put them in one by one and let them sit and cook on med-heat flipping them when they were golden brown. Whiles they were cooking I cleaned up, washed the lettuce, toasted the bread, cut the vine ripened tomato, heated up some beans I had forgotten about in the fridge. It was a great easy going night. Why can't cooking dinner be this nice when I come home from work?
