Have you tried a pet store?

Good to have you here, Lynn! We desperately need some new potato recipes. Not that I'm stereotyping or anything. ;)

For the record, I'm not a fan of boneless pork loin chops. To me they're the porcine equivalent of the BSCB, but they do have one redeeming quality: they stuff well. Seasoned the day before. Getting some salt into the meat is a must. After laying down some yellow mustard I added some smoked...

Pass me a plate! And you used all the right chicken parts, too.

Chuck, I'm not sure who this Al Pastor guy is but it seems like you could learn a thing or 2 from him. ;)

Isn't any steak a breakfast steak, depending on how hungry you are? ;)

The chops turned out pretty good. I salted/seasoned them ahead of time but I also cut back on the amount, so there were no issues with saltiness. I think Swanson's is gone but I still buy the Banquet dinners from time to time when they're on sale. Sadly, it appears they don't make a bone-in...
