Sweet potato biscuits, using leftovers from Thanksgiving that were frozen, deli ham, and pepper jelly. Collard greens side.

Craig ate 4 biscuit sandwiches so he obviously liked them.
 
Made a lot of bad judgements preparing and cooking that Stuffed Pork Chop. It didn't cook all the way thru. Never-the-less it was delicious and will certainly be done again.

Noted corrections on the print out of the recipe.
As a side-note, it would probably have worked had I the Toaster Oven working. LOL.
 
It got late and I hadn't eaten, so I just fried a couple of eggs, one chicken eg and one duck egg and pulled a slice of wholewheat bread out of the freezer and toasted it. I had a snack later, when I got hungry again.

I put a lid on the frying pan to cook the egg white that's on top of the yolk. I was surprised that I couldn't see that cooked white film on the duck egg yolk. They were both delicious, but the duck egg had more intense flavour.

It looks like you had two kinds of pasta in that dish. I like the idea of making it creamy by adding ricotta.
Got it one, @taxlady .👍 Spirals and fusilli, I had both packets open and wanted to get them out of the way, same cooking times. 😀I do this often when I have open packets of pasta lying around with about only 100g of pasta in each one. Even if cooking times are different, I add one first and then the other, to ensure they each get their correct amount of minutes. 🙂

I like that idea, of putting one in first so they each get the right cook time. I don't always follow the cook times, but at least I would know to put one in one or two or three minutes later.
 
How do you know which one goes in first? Once open I rarely keep the cello bags, they tear so easily. And if, as a lot of small shapes are, they are approx. the same size???? I would never remember the times, as many say "cook for approx. 6 to 8 minutes" ... Were mine ready at the 6? or the 8? - or more or less?

I don't have a problem with the cellophane bags. Maybe it's the brand I buy or maybe it's because I cut the cellophane bags open with scissors.
