And then the fun part begins. While some girlfriends will say they wanna cook but the boyfriends end up doing most, if not all the cooking, I'm always amused and amazed at how TSO insists on doing everything herself.
Step 1: Thawing and marinating the pork chop. Actually I had wanted to buy chicken but thoughtful TSO remembered 'Auntie said your papa dun quite like chicken so let's do pork for a change.'
And of cuz, she made sure that whoever is home will have a share
And while I'm preparing the baked potatoes (yes, I had actually been granted the permission to bake the potatoes), TSO began the most difficult and dangerous part, cooking the pork chops. Poor gal got hit by some small droplets of oil as the pork hits the pan. =(
The sphagetti is an impromptu addition cuz my old man can't survive without carbo and baked potatoes hardly count as carbo in his opinion and rice would have spoil the 'western food' image and so, I got the chance to act the chef again =) 
And finally, adding the finishing touch, pouring of mushroom sauce
And tada, Pork Chop Sphagetti with Mushroom Sauce, served with Garden Greens and Baked Potato (Jack's Place style)
Not bad eh?
<3 my dearest TSO
p.s. Miss J, if you till haven decide what to get Mr A for Xmas, trust me, cook him a Ai Xin Meal and it will sure send him to the moon =)
