Thank you for the recipe Michael. I love pork but had always been too scared to try a 2-in thick chop - but following your method it was perfect and turned out to be one of my favorite home cooked meals ever 😊
Just reading your recipe is almost as if I were eating it. It was REALLY challenging in Washington DC to find pork chops more then 3/4 inch thick. In London easy-peasy. Always 2" broad.
No, in fact olive may not be substituted for Wesson oil for anything Carol Brady might fry, but we know it always was Alice actually doing the work. And anyway, with Wesson oil, it all comes back except one tablespoon, no?
I am so jonesing for a really good pork chop now. To me, the key is sage. It's as non-negotiable as the "no sex EVER" clause in Alice and Sam's prenup, which Alice's friend Kay (in the sense that Mary Martin was Janet Gaynor's friend) insisted upon.
I sometimes think of Alexis Smith when I go grocery shopping, but probably not for the same reasons.
Such a horrible crash. I recall that it made the national news at the time: Once a star, always a star! (The massive popularity of Dallas also likely helped.)
The crash happened at the intersection where my grocery store is located. Just down the street from where the Larrabee plaid bag mix-up party occurred.
This brought back lovely childhood memories (of the Brady bunch, not mom's pork chops) and I had only known buttermilk used as a pre soak for fried chicken before, wonderful idea, Thank you!

Oh, this makes me so happy! Thank you for telling me.

This pork chop thickness nightmare is just one more reason D.C. should become a state.
Ditto- when I saw the alternate title Pork chops and applesauce my very first thought was “That’s shwell”!
This is a very appropriate reaction.
There’s an episode of Perry Mason and perhaps two where I can be counted on to say, “There’s Sam the Butcher”!
He was mid-century television's Yul Brynner-- forever associated with his greatest role...

It was ALWAYS Alice.

Oh, to be as close as Mary & Janet! I think of their fateful car crash almost every time I go grocery shopping...

And I had only known Shake 'n Bake pork chops in my childhood. Learning and growing, learning and growing...
This was so much fun! Another helping or two or more, please.
That will absolutely be happening. And thank you!
😂
I mean
😂😂😂
So glad you enjoyed it!
michael, Michael, MICHAEL!! Thanks for the oldie (and a goodie.) 😂
Thank you! I ran across it last night and forgot how much I enjoyed writing it.
OMG have not even read this yet, but all I can hear is, “Shwell Shweetheart” - coming from my brothers.
Your internal hearing is very, very accurate.
