Disappointed

So. One of the things in life I find most disappointing is when recipes don't turn out as well as they look. Just made pork chops with sweet potato chutney. Sounded delicious, since I love pork chops and I love sweet potatoes.

Unfortunately, maybe I cooked the pork chops poorly or something (stupid broiler), but it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. I think I'll stick to my standard pork chops recipe with baked sweet potatoes from now on. Except I am a little proud that I tried something new and got out of the rut. Not being beaten down by the man every day leaves me room to get creative with the cooking.

Tomorrow's menu: beef stew in the slow cooker. Hopefully I'll have more success with it than with the pork chips.
