NARCISSISM IS NECESSARY

I made this for dinner today. It was totally experimental but thank goodness, they turned out delicious! BF was pleased :) # – Grilled mustard pork chop. The ingredients: 350 grams of pork chops (4 pieces) 2 tablespoons of mustard 1 tablespoon of coarse salt 1 teaspoon of chilli powder 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder [...]

My apologies for the name of the dish. Honestly, I don’t know what to call it. It’s nothing like I’ve ever tasted before and it’s not even a real dish as far as I’m concerned. I was having a bad case of monthlies (I still am, actually) but dinner needed to be cooked. I opened [...]
