Ingredients
  • 2 pork chops, about 6 oz. each
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup dry wine
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger root
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
Directions
  • Trim excess fat from chops. Mix together wine, grated ginger and soy sauce.
  • Mix together the ground ginger, salt and pepper and pat onto chops, both sides.
  • Heat oil until almost smoking. When hot, add chops and brown on both sides, 2 - 3 minutes per side.
  • Add wine mixture and scrape pan to loosen any browned bits. Reduce heat to medium, cover pan and cook to desired doneness, 5 to 10 minutes (time depends on thickness of the chops. They should feel firm, but not hard when pressed, or show little or no pink when cut into).
  • Serve immediately with pan juices spooned over. Delicious served with applesauce.
  • TIP: to keep fresh ginger without having it dry out, cut the root into good-sized chunks and freeze in snug fitting air-tight container. To use, grate or slice without thawing, returning unused bits to the freezer.

    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
    • 12 ounces fresh fettuccine, or 8 oz. dried
    • salt and pepper
    • Parmesan cheese, freshly grated for serving
    Directions
    • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat and then add the cream.  Bring butter and cream to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring while it simmers. After simmering, add the Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Turn off heat under pan and begin preparing the pasta.
    • Add water to a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Just before water begins to boil, add salt. When the water comes to a full boil, add the fettuccine and bring water to a boil again, stirring occasionally.
    • Turn heat down so water is just at a steady boil. Check fettuccine package for the length of time to boil. Cook until the pasta is al dente. (Check for doneness before the full cooking time is up to ensure that the pasta does not overcook.) Drain well when done.
    • Turn the burner under the sauce back to a low setting. Either: 1) add all the fettuccine to the sauce and toss until all pasta is well coated, or 2) top the fettuccine just before serving and allow it to be tossed at the table.
    • Serve immediately and garnish if desired with fresh Parmesan grated on top and/or chives cut into small bits.

    • 1/4 cup sugar
    Directions
    • Toss lettuce, cauliflower, and bacon together.
    • Just before serving, mix with dressing. In several intervals, add a small portion of the dressing with the salad. Determine if more dressing is needed. Do not add too much dressing at once. Stir in dressing to your taste. Too much dressing can cause salad to be soggy.
    Note: If you will not eat the entire salad at your meal, only mix up what you think you will need. Store the remaining lettuce mixture and dressing separately in the refrigerator. Mix together just before you are ready to serve again.
