These days my freeway commute is not to the office to work, but to the gym to workout. I still carpool when I can which makes the drive, however long or short, more interesting. We may discuss politics, marriage, travel, books, hobbies, and conversations always seem to include food. Shocker, right?
On more than one commute to the gym, we would be exchanging ideas for dinner. After hearing my carpool mate and gym buddy talk about these pork chops I knew what we would be eating that night. Now I have to say I’m not a big fan of pork chops, but hubby is. I don’t make them often so I knew he would be thrilled at the prospect of having pork chops that night. He really liked this recipe and I have to admit that I thought it was tasty too!
The recipe is labeled as a sweet and sour dish, but I didn’t get that so much. The sauce is just a delightful blend of flavors that enhanced the pork chops as far as I’m concerned. You’ll have to judge for yourself.
