Another late night at work - beavering away in a silent office alone. It wouldn't normally bother me but for a colleagues comment as she left - "why do you do that to yourself? You always pick up things". My response was that someone had to - but it occurred to me "why me?"
Yes, I get well paid but somehow I think that it is my personality to pick up what needs to be done no matter what it costs me personally. I need to start putting myself first - after all, in 10 years time I'm pretty sure it won't matter.
So the long and the short of it was that I got home frustrated after a quick diversion to Lidl that is. I decided to make the ultimate frustration dish - pork parmesan crispy cutlets.
Start off with 4 pork cutlets (no bone) or steaks. And to be frank, beat the living crap out of them or as the chefs might suggest, tenderise and flatten. Lord that felt good, I imagined an ex-boyfriend ..............
Breathe! Now mix 150g breadcrumbs, 20g parmesan, garlic powder and seasoning - pop into a shallow dish. Then mix one egg with a little milk (or if you like me are lactose intolerant, water works). Dip the cutlet in the egg and then dip in the breadcrumbs until covered.
You can shallow fry this but I am trying to loose weight so I greased a metal dish and baked for 15 - 20 minutes (or until crispy) in a hot oven. Really lovely served with a green salad.
