[Food] Dirge's Kickin' Chimaerock Chops

So I've decided to try and do my take on some recipes from World of Warcraft.  The first was suggested to me by a friend. Dirge's Kickin' Chimaerock Chops (that's a whole lot to type!).

I am sick today, so I was feeling pretty lazy...but, this is what I came up with. 'Recipe' will be posted below.

Unfortunately, I had a difficult time finding any Chimaerock...So, I had to settle for pork chops. I seasoned them with deeprock salt ( seasoning salt ) and some spicy Mrs. Dash. I threw them in the oven for 40 minutes at 375°.

While the porkchops were cooking I threw on some basmati rice, and got working on my sauce.

In  a little saucepan I added some chopped onion and garlic with a little butter, and sauteed them until they were nice and soft, then I threw in the rest of the saucy incredients. Bear in mind, unless I'm following a recipe, I just don't measure things. I eyeball it, taste, that sort of thing. If I like something, I add more of it. Into the pot went tomato paste, Goblin Rocket Fuel ( white rum ), more spicy Mrs. Dash, Death Sauce. I let it simmer for a while before deciding it needed more...Then I added some milk to cut the acidity a little, cumin, chili powder, and red chili pepper flakes.

After that was all done, I threw the chop of a bed of rice, and added some more sauce.

Well..it tastes better than it looks. ^^; 

The verdict? It was pretty tasty, but I would have added maybe a little more milk...and diced mushrooms, if I had any. If I liked peppers, I probably would have added some of those, too.

Introducing...Me

So this post is a little more about me, and things I'll be blogging about here...exciting, right?

Finances - I don't know how much I'll touch on that, but currently, my fiance and I are trying to find that balance between paying off a large credit card bill, a loan, paying our bills, and also saving for our wedding/honeymoon, as well as a down payment on a home (or condo, or townhouse). The saving's going slow at the moment, with me only putting $20 from each paycheck towards wedding and home. Of course though, bills must always come first.  We're still working on that bit where we need to spend more carefully...I think our food bills end up to be way more than they should be.

Wedding - I was proposed to (much to my surprise) on December 17th, 2011. There's no specific date quite yet, but it will be sometime in October, 2013. So, I plan to go over my whole wedding planning experience here. It should be interesting!

Food - Uh, yeah. So, I love food. I'm not a fancy fois gras kinda gal though...I like to be able to pronounce what I'm eating. Simple things...I may give a whirl at restaurant reviews, who knows? I'll also share recipes I find/make up here, and other things of that sort.

Parenting - I'm not a mom yet, and probably won't be for a few more years. Regardless, every bone in my body aches to be a mom, it has for as long as I can remember. I'll be posting mom-related thoughts and ideas here in the mean time. In my previous occupation, I feel I've learned a lot about proper parenting (through the fails I've seen on a daily basis), and would like to share that wisdom.

That's pretty much it, which is actually quite a broad spectrum for a blog, I think! I'll try to keep this organized and tidy, though.
