Violent screed with copious references to Necronomicon apocrypha condemning all posters in thread and their progeny to eternal servitude to Cthulhu and his lieutenants, but with offers for free lube and tires at local Wal-Mart if coupons are redeemed by March 1. (Zwinkie faces offering to cartoon you embedded in screed.)

Pork Chops…I LOVE Pork chops…

Pork Chops…mmmmm

Step one…  
Reduce equal parts of Balsamic Vinegar and Brown sugar until it is a thin honey-like consistency. Stir often, It WILL scorch. Pour into heatproof container and set aside too cool.

Step Two…  
Peel and wedge a mess load of Granny Smith apples. Toss then with a 50/50 mix of Kosher Salt and Brown Sugar…Saute the apples in butter until they are just tender and beginning to caramelize.

Step Three…  
Cook Bone in 1" rib chop by either grilling or pan frying…baste with “step One” concoction frequently. Cook Chop to MEDIUM!! You are many times more likely to get trichinosis from bear meat than pork…

Step four…  
Serve balsamic glazed Pork Chop with a heap of the sauteed apples and a mound of Garlic Roasted mashed potatoes…

I LOVE me some Pork…I was a chef, my brother was in “Swine Confine Management”.It was a relationship made in heaven…

Hijack continued with complaint about balsamic vinegar being too vulgar for the poster’s refined tastes, followed by suggestion for preferred seasoning/cooking method.

I quit…I am leaving this board because **MsRobyn** is obviously NOT paying attention…I KNOW everything about pork and apples and the combination of the two…

I will be opening my Good Bye speach thread in **ATMB** as soon as I finish this post then I will be opening as “\*\*FOCK \*\* MsRobyn” (spell-check does not know how to spell FUCK…but i digress) …sheesh…yous guys unimpress me…
