pork - it's whats for dinner

I went grocery shopping this morning and I couldn't deny this craving I'm having for grilled pork chops. It will just be my husband and I eating them, but did I keep that in mind when looking in the meat department? Heck no. I've got six gorgeous chops sitting in my fridge waiting for ~The Grill Master~ to work his magic on tonight.

I've known people who never, ever have cravings for particular foods. I can't imagine what life would be like. I live for cravings. Although they are torture and heaven combined. It's so horrible when you really are craving something to eat and you can't seem to get your hands on it. But then when you do get what you have been craving - it's as if you're tasting it for the first time...so incredibly good!

Not to forget those rare occassions when you've been very much craving something, and you finally get it, only to take a bite and have it be NOT what you wanted or NOT the right type of what you wanted or just a really crappily made version of what you wanted...That's entirely depressing and can put me in a foul mood rather quickly.

I'm not hungry in the slightest right now, but I can't wait for dinner!

I also picked up all the trimmings to cook up a Thanksgiving feast. We've always gone to other places besides our own home for Thanksgiving, so this year will be something new. My husband is excited to grill the turkey on ~a fine bed of charcoal coals~ and me tending to all the other side dishes will be easy enough.

It will be our quite little family time...the last holiday before we are no longer a family of three. Early December is approaching fast...the new munchkin will be here before we know it!!

Today my goal is to get my hospital bag packed...if only I can stop procrastinating!
