Long time no talk! The day after Thanksgiving marked the beginning of floor demolition in our house. Unsurprisingly, the past week has been insane. Hence, no menu plan last week. But we have our kitchen back now (yay!) and we are sick to death of eating out/spending money on takeout. It’s time to get back in the kitchen! Also, we have wood floors now and I feel so grateful and excited.

also, pork marsala? what cut of pork and how do you prepare it?
Jane,
The original recipe called for pork chops, but I used a pork roast and cut it into cubes, seasoned and coated with flour, then browned. Then just cook similar to chicken marsala. My family still liked chicken marsala best :).

I can’t believe how fast we got the installers on the schedule and then that it took them only 10 days. if we’d done it ourselves it would have taken MONTHS. I feel so grateful!!
