Easy, yummy weeknight meal! I used the following options: thick-cut pork chops, chives (instead of scallions), honey (instead of mirin) and white wine (instead of rice vinegar). My thick-cut chops cooked for about 22 minutes. Overall, this was a very easy dish and the results were fantastic. I thought the soy sauce overwhelmed the flavor, so next time I may reduce it and use more water instead. I will definitely make this again. We served this with steamed rice and an Asian-inspired cucumber, tomato & almond salad. Thanks!

I'm heaven sent, don't you dare forget
I am all you've ever wanted,
what all the other [boys] all promised
Sorry I told, I just needed you to know
I think in decimals and dollars
I am the cause to all your problems
Shelter from cold, We are never alone
Coordinate brain and mouth
Then ask me what it's like to have myself so figured out - I wish I knew
I hope this songs starts a craze,
the kind of song that ignites the airways
The kind of song that makes people glad to be where they are
with who ever they're there with
This is war - Every line is about who I don't write about anymore
Hope you come down with something they can't diagnose,
don't have the cure for
Holding on to your grudge
Oh it's so hard to have someone to love
Keeping quiet is hard
'Cause you can't keep a secret if it never was a secret to start
At least pretend you didn't wanna get caught
We're consentratin' on fallin' apart
We were contenders, now throwin' the fight
I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe in us
Oh we're so c-c-c-c-c-controversial
We are entirely smooth
We fit to the truth
We are the best at what we do
And these are the words you wish you wrote down
This is the way you wish your voice sounds,
handsome and smart
Oh, my tongue's the only muscle on my body that works harder than my heart
And it's all from watching TV
and from speeding up my breathing
Wouldn't stop if I could
Oh it hurts to be this good
You're holding on to your grudge
Oh it hurts to always have to be honest with the one that you love
Oh so let it go
This is the craze only we can bestow
This is the price you pay for loss of control
This is the break in the ground
This is the closest of calls
This is the reason you're alone, this is the reason you fall!
We're consentratin' on fallin' apart
We were contenders, now throwin' the fight
I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe in us

I love to cook and to bake and to watch people enjoy the food that I make, and most of all I enjoy this 'practice' period I have - to prepare me for when I have a family of my own :)
