Pork Chops and Green Beans

Day 4 and still no propane, WTF, good thing for the small electric heaters, they keep the room warm enough to sleep in.  Rigs been broke down for a couple hours now the draw works chain busted, as usual no replacement chain is on location.  Half links and full links must be broken down and reinstalled to repair the old chain.  Four bone in 1/2 inch pork chops , seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, sugar, onion powder, cayenne pepper, celery seed, comino, turmeric, oregano, bay leaves, thyme, paprika, rosemary, parsley, and sweet basil.  That mixture is better known as Serendipity Seasoned Salt.  I like to liberally season both sides of the chops and leave at room temp for an hour or two.  Put chops in baking pan in a oven set on broil, or course rub it with real salted butter and cook for about 20 minutes.  Since i don't have a meat thermometer i usually just make a small incision as close to the bone as possible and verify that the pork is cooked, meaning absent of pink or red and no blood.  Green beans are easy, choose a well known brand like Dell Monte, empty 3/4 of liquid out, pour into bowl and microwave for 2 min of course season and add butter.  Serve it up and enjoy a relatively home cooked meal. 

If you notice a pattern in my cooking its because I try to avoid starches and carbs when ever possible.  Carbs seem to pack the weight on me so I try to stick to a Atkins type of format.  Dont get me wrong I do indulge myself on occasion.  Also absent are the sugars AE: deserts and candies. 

Well everything seems to be falling into place, propane truck is here, and I hear the familiar drone of the the draw works engines coming back to life, chain must be repaired.  I monitor the Pason drilling screen from my shack and sure as shit the bit depth is changing as the engines turbos kick in.  Time to go to work, or a poor imitation of work................
