My wife is going to be cooking pork chops for the first time tomorrow evening because I will be working all evening. She cracked me up this morning when she said, "...after you fluff them in the flour..." Not dredge or coat, *fluff*. I'm laughing again while typing this. She told me that it was OK if I shared that here. Fluff. > > :-D --Bryan |

Back then, Campbell's put a lot of recipes out that people used and liked.

Sorry, but salt is an important component no matter when you add it. I would certainly expect boxed unsalted broth to be incredibly bland. Jill |

BTW - I finally found out why my mom, back in the early years, cooked steak, pork chops, all meat to shoe leather. It wasn't her bad cooking...it was my dad's request. Turns out he's always had this fear of food poisioning. All meat had to be cooked very well done. No stuffing inside a turkey. He's still the same. Also: Happy Birthday tomorrow, Dec.12, to my dear ol grumpy Dad. He will turn age 87. M&D celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary last month. If I was married to my ex that long, I'd be wishing for death. Mia is already the longest living ferret I've had. Her 7th bd will be December 17. Lots of care with her now but I'll take it over the alternate. |

Good for you and the care of Mia, and also best wishes to your folks on the anniversary and your Dad's birthday, may they have many more. My granddaughter will have her 30th birthday on the 17th too, she's also my longest living grandchild. :) Cheri |

As I said, I haven't had this in so many years but you've got me salivating now. And pork chops are on sale this week for about $1.25 per pounds. I think I'll pan sear the heck out of them, put into crockpot with some chicken/mushroom soup...plus some extra mushrooms and onions. Let them cook for hours. Also, your side dishes are spot-on too. Green beans and mashed potatoes. I might even add a couple of more sides....corn and applesauce. Then some bread and butter. Oh man. |

I didn't understand at the time but I learned it's an important local custom. The luau we had for our granddaughter was frightfully big. My first son had his first child a few weeks ago and my wife is already talking birthday luau. That's scary! From the Wiki: "The birthday luau It is customary for Hawai"i families, regardless of ethnicity, to hold a luau to celebrate a child's first birthday. In Polynesian cultures (and also in Korean culture), the first birthday is considered a major milestone. (See entry under "for visitors from the mainland" for fuller description). These gatherings often consist of extended family, friends, neighbors and can reach up to hundreds of attendees. Polynesian families, especially Samoans, Tongans and Maori, also commemorate 21st birthdays with lavish parties and feasts." |
