I made this for dinner tonight and I have to say it was just delicious, or even better.
Questions are again What is it? and How to cook it?
I have already cooked this so take your time with replies. But please do reply with your answers and how to cook recipes.

What is it?
Roasted Chicken is another all-time favorite and easy to do meal that looks like a big deal. This meal does take some time but not much preparation time. On a scholarly note, according to expert opinion roasting only happens to whole chickens. If we cut up the chicken into pieces and cook it exactly the same way it is considered to be baking, not roasting. With that said, we will start with a whole chicken.
I selected a 6 pound chicken at the local food store and paid $1.39 per pound. I still expect prices in line with Mom sending me to the A&P on the way home from school, so it seemed like $1.39 for the whole chicken would be right, but it was actually $8.34.
To add some flavor and some fun I stuffed this one with a Vegetable Stuffing. The total cost for the finished stuffed bird and some mashed potatoes came in about $15, so a family of five eats for $3 each, the heck with fast food.
Ingredients
Directions
Cooking time = 20 minutes * pounds of chicken plus 15 minutes plus 30 more because it is stuffed.
My bird = (20 * 6) = 120 +15 = 135 + 30 = 165 minutes. 165/60 = 2.75 hours or 2 hours and 45 minutes.
My bird = Uncover after 2 hours and 15 minutes.
Ready to Cook
BK was correct of course and the “What is it? How to cook it?” is a large pork chop. The size seemed to say this was a beef cut, but the color gave it all away. I took Lynn’s suggestion on how to cook it with a little modification and it, and its twin, was delicious. Contrary to earlier thinking it did not make more than one meal, but remember my desire to cook stems from the more basic desire to eat. I confess I ate almost all of both chops, and Aspen did have a tasty addition to her evening meal as well.
Here is the recipe I used for my Pork Chop Surprise. It is simple enough to do after work when you find a surprise in the freezer.

Directions
Serve with potatoes and vegetable of your choice.
I was freezer cleaning yesterday and found this meat in a bag with no label. It is a good size piece of meat, filling the standard dinner plate it is pictured on, and weighing in at 1/2 pound on the scale.
First, what you you think it is, and second how would you cook it?
Please post your replies soon as I can’t hold it in the fridge forever.

Meatloaf – Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad
Updates have been made to the meatloaves and meatball posts so be sure to check them out!
Please add comments here to share your meatball and meatloaf recipes with us.
Thanks.
Meatloaf is a great food and is one of the top all time comfort foods around, especially on a cold, wet night. Meatloaf should be firm to the touch and not crumble when cut. Meatloaf and Meatballs offer a great opportunity to be creative and experiment with different ingredients. Alternatively you can do what I do most times and use whatever I happen to have in the kitchen when I make them.
This is a basic approach made this time with venison and beef, but this works with beef alone, or the popular beef, pork, and veal mixtures you find in the supermarket.
You can modify this recipe as you like, and remember to tell us about it by adding your comments to this post with your favorite meatball or meatloaf recipes.

Meatballs are a great food; they can be eaten with pasta or rice, or served alone as an appetizer. Like a small round meatloaf, they should be firm to the touch and not crumble when cut.

Boneless Pork Chops
A method to cook boneless pork chops that takes 20 minutes of preparation and cooks in about 40 minutes more. Ideal for when you want to start dinner and then relax until ready to serve. The chops you want for this can be made from boneless pork roast by cutting chops about 3/8 inches thick or ask your butcher to prepare.

A nice way to cook fresh trout or salmon stuffed with brown rice and vegetables. The best way to secure your fish is to set off early to your nearest favorite trout or salmon neighborhood and fish. This particular trout was great to have fresh this winter as the ice has been scarce and it has been too cold for the boat. We hit a lucky morning at a state park on 4 inches (I know, I know) of ice and at that magic 9 am hour caught three like this. Of course whole, drawn fish from the store may be used as well.
