Good afternoon in the ‘burgh how are you today? Pretty sure those projects keep
popping up I am in the same situation here in Oz. I take breaks so I don’t get overwhelmed.

Another day and another project and I call them that because once they are done they are
done. 😜🤣

Method
Heat large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper. Add oil and pork to skillet, and cook for 4 minutes per side, or until deeply browned. Remove pork from skillet and discard all but 1 tbs. fat.
Add onions and thyme to skillet and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes, or until onions are tender and charred in some spots. Sprinkle flour over onions and stir to coat evenly. Add broth and cream and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until gravy has thickened slightly. Season with salt and pepper. Return pork and its juices to gravy and simmer for 4 minutes, or until pork is cooked through. Discard thyme stems.
Meanwhile, in medium saucepan over medium heat, bring milk and 1 3/4 cups water to a boil. Add grits in steady stream, while whisking. Cook grits, stirring often, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until grits are cooked. Season with salt and pepper.
Spoon grits into 4 dinner bowls. Place pork on grits, spoon gravy over, and serve.
