    George, those pork chops look a little lean for my taste, at least according to the photo.

    I personally prefer pork chops with the bone attached, and from a different more fatty part of meat.

    That looks like what we would call a pork steak, cut from a Boston butt.

      This is the part where this meat is from:

      Over here, we'd call it a steak only if it was de-boned.

        @George-K 's piece of meat OTOH looks like what we would call a de-boned Stielkotelett, which stems from region 6 in this image.

          I made some sourdough bread.it turned out to one some of the best bread I have ever made. We did burgers on the grill and had a nice salad as a side.

              Boston butt is actually a pork shoulder cut. Looks like this:

                And I thought that "butt" implies a proximity to the pig's ass.

                    Friday night again, just put on a boneless beef rib goulash stew for a 3-4 hour simmmer. Will make home made spätzle before serving.

                    Wine for the evening is rioja. Don’t ask me why match Spanish wine with Hungarian goulash. Call it international cooperation at its finest. Like this.

                      Pork chop and broccoli. The last peach developed a groady interior so had to make do with a plum.

                      Seeing the Boston butt post up there reminded me of something. Back in the day when I was learning to cook and be a good wifey, I settled upon preparing a roast for dinner. Figuring how hard can it be to shove a hunk of meat into the oven and leave it there until it looked like the pictures. I found a recipe for Boston butt in my trusty Joy of Cooking and set about finding out what part it was so I'd know what to buy. Looked high and low, even went to the library to search their cookbooks -- no luck; couldn't find a single mention of Boston butt.

                      Wasn't about to give up now. This was a challenge and I was going to climb that damn mountain. Finally it occurred to me to call the grocery store's butcher and ask, duh. I was a lot chattier in those days, so I related my long efforts theretofore to discover what part of the cow Boston butt came from, and could he please help me, pretty please? There was a long pause, and the man said very neutrally, "Ma'am, Boston butt is pork."

                        Because delicious wine goes with delicious food. Rioja and stews is a great match. I finished off the end of a nice Mencia last night. Absolutely great and only $10.

                            We are having Dragon's Breath grilled salmon. We had pizza last night (Papa Murphy's) so we didn't want to have it tonight, too.

                                          Crab cake with angel hair pasta and an alfredo sauce. Some jarred green beans on the side.
