Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Smiles and Air Fryer Pork Chops


 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date!  Our theme this week is 'SMILES'.  Here is my 'Apple Smile' ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").

And here are my air fryer pork chops.  First I marinated them with some olive oil, tomato paste and spices such as onion powder, garlic powder, salt, dried oregano, pepper.  Then I preheated the air fryer at 390F or 5 minutes.  Then I did the larger chop for 12 minutes, (6 minutes per side).  The smaller chop was 10 minutes, (5 minutes per side).

  17. Our apple tree produced so many apples this year while in the past there were only a few. When I was a kid, I used to climb up in my neighbor's apple tree and eat her apples. Now I have my own apple tree and I'm too old to climb the tree so there they sit. I am guessing they are not smiling like your apple :(
    I have yet to get an Air Fryer. I take it you are pleased with it ... I guess I should look into getting one as everyone I know uses them. Your pork chops do look delicious . Maybe I will get myself one for Christmas :) Happy Thanksgiving, Christine.
