....And it didn't turn out too badly. Not for a first effort, anyway. The sauce turned out rather well but the pork chops were slightly overcooked. But all in all, my guinea pig (er, roommate/friend) said it tasted pretty good.
First of all, I'd like to thank her for being there with support and helpful advice (She's good at this whole kitchen thing) and second of all, READ the whole recipe. I read the recipe probably about 15 times. Read through the ingredients, read through the instructions...the whole enchilada. It wasn't until I was cooking the pork chops and wondering what was taking so long that I realized that the recipe called for BONELESS pork chops. Mine were thick and definitely still had the bone.
Don't know how I missed that but I did. That'll teach me to "skim" over what I'm reading.
And for those of you that would like to try this recipe, the sauce came out a little thin; add a little corn starch to thicken it if you'd like (The house cooking guru says don't forget to mix the corn starch with cold water first BEFORE adding it to the sauce and add while sauce is boiling)
Thanks to everyone for their support. It helps a lot to have people that believe in you even if you're not so sure yourself. I'm adding a pic or two to show you how it turned out. Let me know what you think!
