Once I finish swimming my half mile in the morning, I speed walk around the pool with my friends Rachel and Alice.  We share recipes and talk about food the entire time.  I was telling them about a great pork chop recipe I recently found that sounded so good and easy.  Brown four pork chops in butter or oil, salt and pepper to taste, add two sliced apples (skins on) across the top of the browned chops, add ½ cup maple syrup, cover and cook 20 minutes.  Sounds yummy, doesn’t it?  Alice cooks her pork roasts with homemade sauerkraut and onions in the crock pot.  I’m trying that recipe this weekend.  People wonder why it is we exercise so diligently and never seem to loose weight.  Now you know–we hurry home and cook!
