Warm Salad with Bacon

Can you find the hiding bacon?

Greens are apparently, an important food.  If you peruse the Interwebz, you will find like, a kajillion green smoothie recipes.  As much as I love green smoothies, I HATE salads.  They are just constant chew, chew, chew!  And when I'm done, I'm hungrier than when I started.  Plus, they're cold.

Braised Pork Chops with Cream Sauce

Ever since I got my new knife, I love cutting leeks.  Leeks were the worst thing to try to cut with my old knife.  First, I would have to take a running start before every cut.  Then that cut would only make it about halfway down and I would have to tear the rest of the layers of the leek.  It was worth it in the end because leeks are delicious.  They have all the tastiness of onions mixed with garlic but none of the burn or sliminess.  It's like looking into the sun with polarized sunglasses on.  See the beauty, skip the pain.
