Parmesan Baked Pork Chops

If you're hungry for a good home-cooked meal like Mom used to make, but don't have a lot of time to prepare it, you might be tempted to reach for a Swanson Hungry-Man TV Dinner. Of course, unless your Mom wasn't a very good cook, you'd likely be disappointed.

I don't think my Mom ever made these Parmesan Baked Pork Chops, but it's very much like some of the meals she prepared for our family on a Wednesday night. Wednesdays were "pork chop night" at our house when I was growing up and I always looked forward to how Mom would prepare them. She found a lot of different ways to prepare pork chops and I'm sure Mom would approve of this recipe.

Served with mashed or scalloped potatoes and a side order of mixed vegetables or canned corn this recipe always takes me back to Wednesday evenings at the Young Household in the 1960s.

- jim Young “You can’t go home again.” - Thomas Wolfe. There isn’t much that is more exciting to a 7 year old boy than hanging around a construction site. Once the vivid imagination of a young boy begins to stir, the excavation for the basement will take him on a journey to China, the cement blocks of the foundation transform the hole in the ground into a formidable castle, scrap pieces of wood cut at a 45° angle become the bulky sails of a sailboat, the studded walls, as they are erected become prison bars that the young lad can escape through and rafters, when hung, will serve as monkey bars. At least that’s how it was for me. Most children are denied this experience today for the sake of safety. But in 1960 these opportunities were more readily available. And when your grandfather was building the house, even more so. That your grandfather might be building that house for you, well, that was the icing on the cake. I remember my grandfather letting me help him “build” our house. Und

They never entered U.S. or Canadian air space but they weren’t exactly in Russian air space either. Russian Tu-95 Strategic Bomber “‘The flight was carried out in strict accordance with international rules for the use of airspace,’ said Lieutenant General Sergei Kobylash, Commander of Russian long–range aviation." ¹ Were they just out for a friendly little fly-by to say “Hi” and make sure everything’s okay here in North America?

Not that I am trying to encourage them, mind you, but it does make me a little curious as to what they might be up to. “President Vladimir Putin in 2007 revived the Soviet-era practice of sendin
