For supper, I made Stuffed Pork Chops, with Roger's favourite apple stuffing....
You need some butterfly pork chops...
The stuffing is almost the same as a regular stuffing for chicken, with the addition of a small chopped apple...
I fasten the two sides after they are stuffed with stainless steel wire. It is very
hygienic and quite easy to snip after they're cooked. I usually bake them in a loaf pan...it keeps everything together nicely. I cover the loaf pan with heavy duty aluminum foil for most of cooking.
Simply, place stuffing on one side of the chops, fold over and fasten. place the chops in a loaf
pan with about 1/3 cup of water, then bake at 350* for about 1 1/2 hours. Don't have water
up past the stuffing, but be careful that they don\t dry out.
For the last 30 minutes of baking, I place a nice thick slice of peeled apple on the
top of each stuffed chop.

My nephew Aaron just turned 25, on May 6. He is an electrician and works away a lot. He is home for a few days now so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to make him some of his favourite--Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
3/4 cup margarine
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
2 Tbsp water
2 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
2 1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup chocolate chips
Cream first six ingredients, then combine flour, soda, rolled oats and chocolate chips.
drop dough by heaping spoonful onto a greased baking sheet. Bake at 350* for
10-12 minutes, until golden brown. Don't overbake.
NOTE**
I sometimes add a couple of Tbsps of peanut butter and some chopped peanuts.
Here's how they look:
The head pastry chef, Mrs. Pig, was pleased with how they turned out!! (ha ha)

Last, but not least, I wanted to share a picture of one of my bridal veil bushes. I have a pair,
one on each side of the steps coming onto my front verandah.
This is the first thing that blooms in my garden each year!
Cheers to you all ;o)
