Tasty Tuesday Sherry Apple Pork Chops!

Now that my apple tree is loaded with fruit, I looked through my recipe file and found this one from our own Diva Donna, which looks like a great recipe for fall. *inhales deeply* I can almost smell it baking....

Imagine  nice  man chops resting on a bed of sliced apples dotted with butter and dusted with brown sugar and cinnamon. Then imagine sherry poured over the top.  Well Baked.  Eat until Satisfied.

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup dry sherry

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, brown chops, about 2 minutes each side; reserve.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  4. Ha! Don't I wish! I can honestly say I've never had a patient that looked like that in my life--and I've been a nurse since 1976. And if I did, he would have been quite capable of giving his own bath.
    Unfortunately...

  5. Thanks, everybody, for the Birthday wishes! It was a wonderful day!

    If patients looked like that, there would be so many nurses...! He sorta looks like Brad Pitt...?

  6. Glad you had a great birthday, Suzy! Sorry I didn't get the birthday buns posted for you. Having a calendar to remind me only works if I actually look at it. Thank goodness for Facebook reminders!

    I think having patients like that is the sort of propaganda that gets a lot of girls interested in nursing--that and handsome young doctors. Unfortunately, both of those items are in very short supply. Most of my patients are over 70, and a good many are over 80. And doctors? Don't ask....
