Pork Products - Meal #2 - Pork Chopssss and Apple Sauce

Alton Brown has become the guru of cooking in our kitchen. If you have not heard of AB, you should look him up or get his cook book - I'm Just Here for the Food.

Tonight we used his breaded pork chop recipe with one minor revision - instead of crushed salt and vinegar chips, we used Italian bread crumbs. If we'd read the recipe first, we would SO have used the crushed chips as that sounds simply fabulous. My beau cooked the chops to perfection - tender, white, and juicy. For sides we had steamed broccoli and wild long grain rice with mushrooms. The photo below shows the exact thickness of the pork chops we ate, but ours were not quite as oddly shaped as this one.



ps. we've been eating the smoked bacon periodically for breakfast and damn if it isn't the best bacon EVER! One difference we've noticed from store bought bacon is there is less grease left in the pan. This is a good sign for our health, yay!, but bad for my beau because he has been using bacon grease as lighter fluid for his smokey joe and other charcoal grill. I believe this bacon grease chimney lighter candle is also an AB idea - the man is simply BRILLIANT!
