Famous Pork Chops

This morning, I was pondering whether I was going to let my husband buy us dinner tonight, or if I have the urge to try to cook again.

This past few months, I, who never knew how to cook during the time I was working, was suddenly having the urge to learn to do so. My husband, John, is a good cook, so he became my first teacher. Then, when he tried letting me cook our dinner, it kinda hurt me a bit to listen as he points out the bad and the good. So I stopped cooking for him. And started to cook for myself instead, without letting him try it. Then, one day, the food I was making became edible. So, I dared let John taste the food I found pleasant for my palate and thankfully, it passed his standards too.

And so, I have been trying to find new dishes, new ways and secrets.

Tonight, I'm making this "famous pork chops" from allrecipes.com, with slight variation.

It took me 20 minutes to prepare, as I juggle between making my Nico stay away from the kitchen and doing what the recipe says.

And, another 45 minutes to wait for the food to be ready.

Finally, here it is:



Honestly, I was dismayed when I saw the chops as I pulled them out of the oven. But they really smelled good, and surprisingly, tasted good too! The only thing was, the breading was loose that every time I take a slice, I would scoop the breading from the side of the casserole so I can get the whole taste of it.

But, all in all, it's a good dinner.

...Oh, adding Parmesan cheese gives nice flavor too...
