You’re answering this week’s Four Foods on Friday questions on your blog, right? Good. If you don’t have a blog, don’t feel left out. You can answer them right here in my comments section!

1. Are your kitchen utensils nylon, silicone, wood or other?

Everything we have is a mish-mosh. We’re at that stage where we are still renting an apartment, so we still tend to live like college students. I have big plans for proper dishes and utensils once we buy a house.

2. Do you prefer dishes washed in a dishwasher or by hand?

Doesn’t much matter as long as I don’t have to do them.

3. How many sets of dishes do you have?

I am positive we don’t have a complete set of dishes. There’s a set of plates and bowls that match, but there’s also favorite one-off dishes and bowls, as well as different platters that were used in photoshoots at work.

4. Share a recipe that calls for only one pot or pan.

This recipe is actually from Atkins, and is one of my favorites. You will also need a bowl, but you only need one skillet!

Cheese n Chili Chops

• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• salt and pepper
• 4 boneless center-cut pork chops (about 1 pound)
• 1/4 cup tomato salsa
• 1/2 can (4.5 ounces) diced green chilies, drained
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/3 cup grated Cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese

Directions:

Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season chops with salt and pepper. Brown chops about 2 minutes per side. Combine salsa, chilies and cumin in a bowl. Pour mixture over chops. Reduce heat to low, cover skillet and simmer chops 5 minutes or until cooked through. Mix cheeses in a bowl. Divide cheese mixture over chops, cover and cook 1 minute, just until cheese melts.

Get ready to get dirty with Anthony Bourdain, because tonight’s episode of No Reservations is a solid hour of some of the most titillating and tantalizing foods from around the world. Otherwise known as…food porn.

There’s a little something for everyone in this episode of No Reservations, and like Tony says “it’s just filthy.” In a good way, of course.

Tune in tonight at 10pm EST and you might just get some Valentine’s Day ideas courtesy of No Reservations!

I just ordered so much food from room service that I turned on the shower when they knocked so they would think there were two people in the room. Seriously.

Appetizer. Entree. Desert. And I’m not even that hungry.

We’re a bunch of comedians this week with the Four Foods on Friday theme of funny sounding food! This should be good.

1. What’s the funniest sounding food or ingredient you know of?

Schnitzel always makes me laugh.

2. How do you pronounce “cavatelli”?

cav-ah-dell

3. How do you pronounce “gnocchi”?

knee-oh-kee

4. Share a recipe that calls for mozzarella cheese.

Tomato bread is a favorite. Cover slices of Italian bread with butter and a sprinkle of garlic salt and layer with a slice of tomato and a handful of mozzarella cheese. Broil until cheese is brown and bubbly. Also fantastic on a toasted bagel.

There’s so much to learn from No Reservations! This week, Anthony Bourdain is in the Azores, a small cluster of Portuguese islands in the middle of the Atlantic that I didn’t even know existed! Now that I do, I’m convinced it’s paradise. Look at the scenery, and how delicious the food looks, and how nice the people are…

You can see the full episode tonight, January 26th, at 10 EST on the Travel Channel, and as always, visit Tony’s blog for more on the Azores!
