Pork Chop Dinner!!!

The highlight of my day today was my pork chop dinner. I looked forward to making it all day, and it came out just as good as I had imagined it would! I'm gonna be a pretty good cook by the time I get back from NZ... in fact, I might go as far as to say I already am one!
The one thing I need to master is timing. I'm not to good with that. My pork chop was done long before the mashed potatoes were tonight. Hmmm. I'll learn.

Here is a picture of my dinner in the process:

White wine reduction and heavy cream for the sauce! Yum!!!

And here is the final product, plus Sophie's fingers intruding:

That's a lot of apple sauce!

It was so delicious! I am once again very proud.
I'm also proud of the breakfast I made this morning! Mango peach and beet root salad! Lookit!

Sometimes I forget this blog is about my adventures in New Zealand and not just what I eat every day.

Anyway today was a nice day. I didn't do too much. Went shopping on Lambton Quay a bit and then went up to Uni for one class.
(I learned today that in New Zealand, College = High School, and University = ...University, or College. Every time I've mentioned "college" to anyone during this trip, they've though I was talking about high school. Whoops)
I came back and cleaned the entire bathroom for the second time (Sophie are having a problem with our stinky slob of a third roommate), showered, cooked my delicious meal, and then hung out, chatted, and laughed with Sophie and a few of my friends down the hall while I did my nails. Overall a very good night.

St. Patrick's Day approaches and I am very excited! There are a few Irish pubs downtown that apparently party pretty hard for the holiday!

I still longingly await the arrival of my dehumidifier.

I can't wait for my road trip next week so I'll actually have some real adventures to report about.
Until next time!!
