Dinner before Dessert

I can't seem to handle having two blogs. How do these people with four and five blogs do it? I don't know. They must not have kids or a house or ever volunteer. No. That can't be it.

I do have a big baking project coming up so maybe I'm just gearing up for that. It's a fundraiser for the Breast Cancer 3-Day. I plan on sending a variety cookies with Brian to work (with any luck, on a day where there are no layoffs) and putting out a donation box. I'm thinking of including order forms they can put in the box as well. Then Brian can take back more cookies to his friends. I guess you can call it a bake sale. I even have a slogan--Finding a cure never tasted so good.

In the meantime, you're stuck looking at photos of our dinners. Sorry. More fun stuff to come soon. I promise.

These pork chops are yummy. As a matter of fact, that's what they're called in Betty Crocker's Good and Easy Cookbook. I got that book as a Secret Santa gift way back in 1998 when I worked at Mid Atlantic Capital Group, and I go to it often for quick meal ideas.

Yummy Pork Chops

4 pork loin chops, 1/2 inch thick (about 1.25 pounds)

3 T soy sauce

3 T ketchup

2 t honey

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place pork in ungreased 8x8 baking dish. Mix remaining ingredients; pour over pork. Cover with foil and bake about 45 minutes or until pork is slightly pink in center. Uncover and bake 5 minutes longer. I serve it with brown rice with some of the sauce poured over it.
