Capítulo 11: Day One Part 3
"Where to Miss?" Asked the driver.
"Food Mart please on Carver."
"Yes Miss."
They drove for about fifteen minutes and arrived at the big Shopper Mark. The driver kept Toby while Lillian shopped for everything on her list.
She was surprised at how the cashier treated her when she seen the black card she used to by the food. And even more surprising when three box boys carried all of it out to the car.
When they arrived back at the penthouse Max helped get everything up and soon she had everything put away.
She looked at recipes he had pulled out to see what she should start first.

She had decided to get this over with first. She mixed and measured till it was in the oven cooking.

PORK CHOPS With Warm Apple Salsa
YIELD: 4
INGREDIENTS
4 bone-in pork chops with the fat trimmed
2-3 cups good apple cider, plus 1 cup
2 bay leaves
Salt
Pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 Granny Smith apples cut into bite-size cubes
1/2 cup pineapple, cut into bite-size cubes
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh sage, finely chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
To a large, or 2 medium bowls with lids, add the pork chops, 2-3 cups apple cider, bay leaves and 1 teaspoon salt. Make sure chops are covered in liquid. Refrigerate for 24 hours.
Take the pork chops out of the brine 30 minutes before cooking, dry and allow to sit at room temperature.
Salt and pepper the pork chops on both sides.
Heat a large cast iron skillet and oil over medium high heat. Sauté pork chops on one side (don't move) for 3-4 minutes. Turn and cook for an additional 3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees (they will continue to cook) for medium rare, remove and set aside.
To the pan add the butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble. Add the apples, rosemary and sage and sauté, stirring often until the apples start to soften. Stir in the pineapple chunks and 1 cup apple cider. Cook until the sauce has reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes.
Return the pork chops and nestle into the sauce, just to heat them through.
Serve chops topped with salsa and your favorite side dish.

Lillian studied both recipes and then combined them into one dish placing the stuff chop with the salsa. She had been working away and lost track of time.
Before she knew 6:00 had come and Jake was watching her take things out of the oven. It smelled heavenly.
Then she pulled the Asparagus off the stove top and place it in a dish. As she turned around she screamed.
Lucky all she had in her hands was the empty skillet and not the dish of asparagus.
"You scared the shit out of me don't do that."
He laughed at her use of words before he got serious. "Dinner should already be on the table and you should be wearing you uniform."
"I have been cooking since four o'clock and dinner is almost done. If I went by you time frame Dinner would just barely been started. It takes time to cook right and not poison you. As for the Uniform you can kiss my ass. I am not wearing them."
"Guess that means I get a parking lot."
"Fine" She turned to go into the bed room.
He thought he had won when she came out carrying her suit case. She the opened Toby's suite case and put his dishes back in.
He stood there stunned as he watched her take out the black card and put it back into the bowl and punch the elevator doors.
"Where are you going?"
"To find a new location to lease. It was bad enough you being a pervert this morning making me jack you off but there is no way I will be a slutty slave for you so I have to jack you off more."
She stepped into the elevator before he could get close to her and went down.
"Max stop Miss Hood from leaving. I'll be down in a second."
As Lillian step out once again Max was there.
"Can I help with anything."
"Yes, please call me a cab."
"Yes, It will be just a moment."
While max was pretending to be on the phone Jake came down the elevator.
