Pork chops and carrots: fail (Southern Living 1981)

 

I made two of the things Lindy picked for us for this dinner. They were both a major fail. The salad was the highlight of this dinner. 
I think I helped make this a fail though, so I'm not blaming it on the recipes. The pork chops sounded innocent enough. Pork chops and apples. What's not to like? Well, the recipe called for ground clove. I didn't have any, so I used whole. I think it was just WAY too clove-y. 
The side was scalloped carrots. I think I'm not a fan of cheesy carrots. Really though. Who is? I used baby carrots and didn't slice them up. Probably would have been better with grated carrots. Oh well. I tried to take the easy way out.

Needless to say, neither of these recipes are worth making again.

Here's to February's dinners being all winners!
