Our good friends, Janel and Edwin (another Edwin!), had us over for dinner the other night. They made us a delicious meal of comfort food, so this entry is dedicated to them and covers the yummies they shared with us!
Let me back up a little bit...the dinner was actually the wager we won from a game of Nertz played a few weeks back. Edwin (not mine) had been honing his Nertz-playing skills and challenged us to a game. We willingly agreed (always up for a friendly...and competitive game). Plus a girl's gotta eat, and either way, a dinner would be the outcome. So after a VERY close and intense game, the final verdict favored us...woo-hoo! But our competition kept us on our toes...you could tell Edwin had been practicing, and it helped that his partner, Janel, played at the speed of light and steadily barked out orders (while answering a phone call mid-game)! :)
Our victory dinner included pork chops with mushroom sauce, macaroni & cheese, and green beans. I know right?! My mouth is watering too. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures until after we ate. Not usually a good representation of the food. I didn't get a shot of the pork chops because they quickly disappeared, but I got what I could of the sides. Janel was kind enough to send me the recipes they used that night.
Porkchops:
Wanna know the secret??? Cream of mushroom soup! The meat was perfectly done and tender, and the sauce really added to the flavor.

Mac & Cheese:
She said they used a combination of a couple different recipes due to their lack of ingredients. What a true chef! All I know is it came hot and fresh from the oven, topped with bread crumbs and crumbled bacon. Delicious!
Green Beans:
No recipe for this one. Just good ol' sauteed green beans with garlic and spices?
Thanks guys for the great meal, and any time you want to play Nertz again, we're game!
