In My World

6 servings 1/3 cup dry white wine 2 teaspoons fennel, crushed 1 teaspoon marjoram 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 garlic clove, minced 2 teaspoons basil 6 pork chops Combine together in a small bowl: wine, fennel, marjoram, basil, salt and garlic: blend well. Set aside. Spray large skillet with cooking spray. Cook pork chops over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Turn chops, add wine mixture. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes or until pork is no longer pink. In my opinion:  This recipe was elegant, aromatic, attractive and so quick and easy!!!!! The aroma from the wine and the fennel were absolutely fabulous!!!!! This recipe from "Frozen Assest Lite & Easy" by Deborah Taylor Hough.

6 servings 6 pork chops 1 package brown and wild rice mushroom mix 2 cups water 1 large tomato, sliced 1 large onion, sliced 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped Spray large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat over high heat; place chops in skillet; cook 2 minutes, turning halfway through. Remove from heat. Remove pork chops from skillet; set aside. In a casserole dish, stir together drippings from browning pork chops, the wild rice mix and 2 cups water. Arrange slices of tomato and onion in a single layer over rice mixture. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup parsley. Arrange pork chops over top. Cover. Bake in 350 F oven for 40-50 minutes, or until pork is no longer pink in centre and rice is cooked. In my opinion:  We put the parsley on top of the pork chops because it was prettier. This recipe is quite simple, and looks and smells wonderful.

I was introduced to the beautiful waterfront in Kingston, Ontario last September when Hal and I, along with a couple of grandsons, attended Box ON 2015 (our favourite letterboxing event). I am hoping we will have a chance to return this summer to see more of the city.  I also want to go to some of the nearby islands.  Just as a happy accident, there are a ton of letterboxes in the area that need to be found by us.   I hope you will enjoy these photos from our visit to Kingston.
