Early Dinner ~ Baked Pork Chops

Decided on an early dinner today. Baked pork chops, mashed potatoes and green beans. I really enjoy this combination. Easy to cook as well. Rain coming later. But still able to enjoy being out for part of the day. Got in a walk around the neighborhood again. Not many out today. Very quiet. On a different note, I just read where Facebook announced that more than 11,000 employees would be fired to reduce costs following disappointing earnings and a drop in revenue. Interesting. You don't hear much of this in news, only about Twitter. Got a few boxes ready to take to a local church for needy families. Always a good feeling to get this done. And to get rid of items I will never wear any more. Enjoying the little things in life every single day. We never know what tomorrow will bring. For those in the path of the Florida hurricane, I trust you are all safe. And will check in to let us know. Take care everyone.

Looks good. I heard about FB. It's a shame all those people will be fired right when the holiday season starts. Not a good holiday for them. That's great you're taking boxes to the church for needy families. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. Enjoy today while it lasts.

Your meal is one of Skip's favorite meals! He loves pork chops! I wonder how the firing of that many employees will affect Facebook?

@GrannyGee Twitter is all others want to talk about. They hate Elon Musk and what he is trying to do.

Your pork chops look delicious and green beans and mashed potatoes are always good, too. Pretty and I were talking about making corn bread muffins with spiced browned ground beef and ground sausage cooked into them with fried potatoes on the side. I hope you enjoyed your meal.

Thanks, it is a meal I cook often. Lately my appetite is not there for some reason. But I eat because I know I need to. Your meal sounds good. I love fried potatoes with any meal.

@CarolDM You're welcome. I woke up this afternoon not hungry... So I decided to wait until this evening when Pretty is hungry to cook... Hopefully, I'll be hungry then, too. Thanks.

Sounds like a good and delicious meal. I bought some chicken for a soup, but am otherwise eating fish and seafood, unless my neighbor is the one cooking.

@Chellezhere It is a small freezer in the garage and is a perfect size. I forget what is out there many times.

Yes prayers for Florida. Yummy dinner! I had Bally's chili & added leftover rice. Topped with cheese, fresh veggies and butter roll. Doctor appointment went well, not dying. Just got seborrheic dermititis. Itches soooo bad. Got prescription ointment for it and no scratching, peeling skin and just ride it out then it'll go back to normal... poor ears.

Your dinner sounds so good. I miss meals like that. So sad about FB. It's tough to lose your job right before the holidays. I remember when the company I worked for 15 years went bankrupt. They let me go on Christmas Eve. We are currently getting heavy rain from Nicole. Supposed to get 1-2".

@CarolDM I'm hoping that with the job market as it is, they won't have trouble finding work. There are Help Wanted signs everywhere.

It was very good. Not much of an appetite but this is comfort food. Seems to be ok for Facebook to do this, but when Twitter does, it is headline news. Sad for those who lost their jobs. Rain here but not heavy.
