BREAD AND THE BEST PORK CHOPS YOU WILL EVER EAT!

I have decided that one of the culprits of modern society weight gain is bread.  First of all we eat way too much bread and we eat really awful bread. I have tried not to eat any bread at all and of course that does not work. What about sandwiches? What about French Toast? What about Grilled Cheese sandwiches? Hamburgers, Hot Dogs? I believe I just gave you an old, old recipe I have had forever for French Bread, I keep this loaf frozen and just slice off enough to go with a bowl of soup, stew, or casserole. If we leave our bread in the bread box or out on the counter in plain view........we will eat more. I have found, my personal preference to be, Pepperidge Farm 100% Whole Wheat VERY THIN bread. If we must eat bread, this is the way to go.........if you haven't tried it, give it a try. Makes great sandwiches and you are eating at least half of what you normally would.

I was so hungry for Pork Chops and saw someone on a cooking show, making something similar to this..........sooooo good!
Started with an extra thick beautiful pork chop salt and peppered and browned really well on both sides in a little olive oil.  Remove from the pan.
To the pan add chopped red onion and a couple cloves of chopped garlic........throw in a sprig of rosemary and stir until onions are soft.........don't burn the garlic.
Then add about 1/4 cup of white wine and 1/4 cup of chicken stock. Double this for 2 pork chops. Add a tsp or so of capers, a Tblsp of Dijon mustard and a couple Tblsp of butter.............Stir well. Now add the pork chops back to the pan......place in the oven til cooked through......only 5-10  min. Don't over cook. My pork chop was so moist and tender could cut it with a fork. Loved the sauce, a little different from the norm.

I was thinking this morning.........Do you remember when we didn't have to make a decision about what conditioner to use.....because we didn't use one!? We had only a few shampoos to pick from and no conditioners at all. Many people washed their hair with hand soap. Boy, has everything changed...........sigh.
