I cooked 3 pork chops last night and have 2 left over....don't know why I didn't freeze 2 of them. Any suggestions for the two left over chops? I was thinking of chili but would appreciate your help and suggestions. TIA and enjoy the weekend.

Well I had pork chops last night myself and had 1 left over. I simply reheated for about 20 seconds in the microwave and ate it today for lunch with a salad. I like them cold also pretty much like left over chicken wings.
Can't say that I can think of anything to do with them. I suppose you could prepare some fresh veg and then just nuke the chops.

When I toss left over meat off my deck by the time I'm at the kitchen sink washing my hands the crows are dive bombing... they get all my meat trimmings, moldy cheese, stale baked stuff... nothing edible gets wasted here... put a few limp carrots under a tree, by the time I'm back indoors they're scoffed up.
I wish I had more crows!
Cool birds.
Lots of them here, ravens too.
And they're so smart... they even taught Dumbo how to fly ya know.
Get yourself a quart of chicken stock And make a chinese soup broth...simmer some ginger and garlic in the stock, maybe some 5 spice as well as a dash of oyster sauce or soy sauce and some garlic chilli sauce for zip and add some thin slices of green onion, mushrooms or water chestnuts and carrot and whatever other veggies strike your fancy to simmer....just before serving put in thin slices from the pork chops. Maybe add some left over cooked rice at the table.
And the easy no muss, no fuss method... add cooked pork and clean out your fridge by adding whatever to ramen.

You can still freeze them and have a meal ready to heat and eat on a night you don't want to cook. Take one for lunch one day.
I agree- I think they are funny, even if they will eat ANYTHING! This last week, my hubby & I were in the yard, and noticed a huge crow sitting on the fence. Looked the other way for a sec, and turned to see it fly off with either a mouse or a mole in it's claws! They also like to harass eagles and hawks.
They are always harassing the bald eagles and the bluejays near by. Sometimes they are just quirky, and stare at me through the living room window. Apparently they can be taught to speak quite easily when tamed.
Funny- are you in the Pacific NW also? I like to watch them walk- kinda like chickens with their heads bobbing! But they do a service by cleaning up the roadkill-yuk! They do seem intelligent, tho.

So what's the diff between ravens & crows? I thought the names might be a regional thing...

It really is a mystery why you cooked 3 for 1 person.

Same reason when I make up a batch of chicken drumsticks, I'll generally cook the whole 4 lb. bag that they come in. Cold meats are good for a good 5 days refrigerated. I don't have as much time to cook during the week as I do on weekends so I often cook ahead. -- Peace, Om

We have a large population of buzzards around here that do that little chore. Might be why we don't have that many crows.
Competition.
I saw a Cara Cara (Mexican Eagle) on the way home from work the other day. Gods that particular variety of buzzard is so beautiful! :-) -- Peace, Om

Heh. Ravens are about twice the size of crows. ;-) -- Peace, Om

A raven can carry off larger house cats, small dogs, rabbits etc than crow can. A raven is louder than a crow and a PIA because it can wake you up at ungodly hours. A raven lives longer and I believe is smarter. Not that a crow is stupid.
Due to a cost-saving project by my city council garbage removal personel (city hired not a contract) have been reduced and their schedules changed, so I get to see a lot of crows and a few ravens. I think most of them are insane due to what they eat, toxic products in the garbage or due to nile fever. Both will eat other bird's eggs and attack small dogs, cats or anything they figure they can kill and eat. Being dived at by a crazy raven is down right scary. I dislike both due to personal encounters...I much prefer robins and other song birds who only attack when you are near their nest, don't spread garbage all over your yard or wake you up at sunrise.

It really is a mystery why you cooked 3 for 1 person.
I often cook more food than for one person. However, I also know you can eat the refrigerated leftovers either "as is" within a few days - up to a week, depending - or just go ahead and freeze the leftovers the next day. It's not rocket science. Or do I have a degree in rocket science and am not aware of it? LOL

Ditto. Having said that, I haven't found much of a use for leftover pork chops, for whatever reason. It's one thing I don't make extra.
I bet they'd be good leftover if you made an onion type gravy for them.

Ah, yes! My mom used to pan fry (thin) pork chops and then simmer the leftover chops in onion gravy! The gravy was a mix from a packet, of course. Sometimes she even got crazy and put them in a baking dish with the gravy (McCormick's I think it was), covered them with foil and heated them in the oven. She hates to cook.
when I make up a batch of chicken drumsticks, I'll generally cook the whole 4 lb. bag that they come in. Cold meats are good for a good 5 days refrigerated. I don't have as much time to cook during the week as I do on weekends so I often cook ahead.
Next time you buy a big package those thingies people call "boneless pork chops" ask that they send them through their cubing machine, cubed pork makes wonderful swiss steak. Or when you get home grind and form into ultra lean patties, then dredge in seasoned flour, egg, seasoned crumbs; and eat pan fried or 'chicken steak' them. Any LOs can keep a few days in the fridge or can be frozen.
