this little piggy

have i made it clear how much i love pig?

last night, we had pork steaks for dinner. not a normal buy for us, but they were on sale and they looked good. i seared them off in a pan, then made a maple mustard seed brown sugar sauce (i used cider vinegar instead of wine to deglaze the pan). i served that with roasted red potatoes, and some spinach i wilted in a pan with bacon fat and crushed garlic (which i then topped with the crumbled bacon since waste not, want not is a rule in our kitchen... and i love bacon). it was so simple and so quick and really very tasty.

we're planning on going to the state fair thursday with the fam, assuming the weather holds up. i can't WAIT to eat some roasted corn from the lion's club, and some greek bread (there is a greek vendor in one of the halls that has the BEST bread ever; it's a giant round loaf with sesame seeds on top; we have no idea what kind of bread it really is). bryan will love the flavored milk stand and cream puffs; i myself am more of a brownie and salt water taffy girl. we'll get to look at some stinky farm animals too, but mostly, i want that ear of corn!
