Just last week I got an email from my best friend Amanda's boyfriend's mother - Ms. Kay. Amanda and I talk on an average of 5 times a day so as you can imagine I have definitely heard a lot about Ms. Kay from Amanda. Amanda has described her generosity, her knowledge of plants, her devotion to her sons, her adoration for her puppy and her love of cooking. Although I have never met Ms. Kay I felt like I knew a lot about her through my discussions with Amanda and was thrilled to get to interact with her someday. To my surprise, I "met" Ms. Kay earlier than I had expected. Amanda shared my blog URL with her and I received the sweetest email from her last week. She mentioned that she really enjoyed my blog and wanted to share a recipe with me that she had cooked for her sons to rave reviews. I am never one to turn down a proven recipe so I gave it a shot. I was so appreciative of Ms. Kay's suggestion and could have hugged her when I realized how easy and delicious it was. Forrest really enjoyed the meal as well and I will assuredly be making this again.

Okay NOW I'm hungry! When do we eat?
This looks great! Pork and apple are just perfect flavors together :)
Wow! You know I love pork. I had chops last night and am so sorry that I didn't read this entry before I boringly placed them on the Forman grill. I will give these a try next week. They look delicious.
That stuff is yum. Nice job, Kay!
