weekend review: he can cook

You may remember that my boyfriend recently left for a summer-long internship 6 hours away. This weekend I went to visit him and was told to sit down and peruse Pinterest and Twitter while he prepared a delicious and healthy home-cooked meal for the two of us. I did not argue with this arrangement.

And...he did the dishes.

Figure 1. In preparation: local farmers market pork chops topped with garlic and fresh rosemary.

Figure 2 (sorry for the dark photo, it was 9:30 by the time we ate). Saturday night's dinner courtesy of the boy: pork chops with a garlic and rosemary rub and a balsamic reduction, cream-cheese polenta, and roasted zucchini, summer squash, and eggplant.

  9. A man who cooks AND does the dishes is a beautiful thing, as is that reduction on pork chops. I'll have to try that next time I make them.
