This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Pork chops in pear sauce with squash dumplings in brown butter on the side. It was the first time I've made any of these dishes and to my relief it was tremendous. It was all about trying something new.

Your douchery is a comforting constant on this site.

Looks good James. You should post the recipe for those pork chops, I'd like to try them.

Sorry bout that. Guarantee it tastes a lot better than it looks!

That's what I found surprising. It was an internet recipe. I've had middling luck with them in the past, but this one's pretty good.

I'm sure.

I would place the chop in the center of the plate, and arrange the dumplings around it.  And garnish it with something green, like parsley.  The parsley is very cliche.

And serve it on a red plate.

I don't give greens the attention they deserve, but I am working on it. Right now I'm trying to expand my food horizons by going after recipes that seem friendly to my tastes. The dumplings are the first time I've had squash that wasn't pumpkin pie for example.

And while it isn't green. I'm on the lookout for a killer beet salad to give beets a fair try in the future.

After that, maybe I'll give greens some attention.

Just get yourself what ever's cheapest at the shop (usually it's beans or broccoli for us) and steam a bit to go with your protein, carbs and fat. Or make a salad if you swing that way. Your body will thank you for it.

Beets are good just boiled if you want to try them. Much better than the canned ones. They would be very tasty with your pork chops.

At least one exception: A nice garlicky chimichurri on a medium rare/medium grilled hunk of ribeye or strip steak.

One of the first meals I had this summer after buying my first proper charcoal grill.

Well, but that's chimichurri.  That's different.

Which reminds me of the wonderful cilantro lime pesto my former favorite upscale Mexican/Peruvian establishment served with their chips.  That was one yummy green sauce.
