Good one, krisla.You got the grammar right, restless. But you need an article ("a") before "pork chop". And watch out for typos!
Do you mean in both sentences adding 'a' before 'pork chop'? Because in the second sentence feels like 'the' is a better choice, is it or am I wrong?
restless, whether you use "a" or "the" depends on your intention. If the pork chop is something the reader is meant to know about already, then you would use "the"; otherwise, "a" is preferable. There is a Wiki page that explains this well:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_(grammar)#Definite_article
