Fannie Farmer's The Boston Cooking School Cookbook is THE classic American cookbook. It was always within reach in my mom's kitchen when I was growing up, its yellowed pages delicate and frayed from frequent use. If my mom said, "Go get Fannie Farmer," I knew exactly what she meant. So when I decided to do a cookbook challenge blog, cooking 365 recipes in a year, it was only natural that I looked to Fannie. Her many basic recipes make it a perfect fit for someone just learning to cook.

Skillet-Fried Pork Chops
This is the second time I've made pork chops, and unlike last time, I paid attention to their thickness and didn't overcook them. They turned out really well.
For this you will need:
3-6 pork chops, 1/2 inch thick.
1-2 tbsp. flour
salt & pepper
Dust each chop with flour, then sprinkle with salt & pepper. Cook each 1/2 inch thick chop for 5 minutes on each side, a 3/4 inch one for 8 minutes per side.
I served these with sauteed summer squash and apple zucchini bread. It was a much greater success than last time I tried to make pork chops. It's all about the thickness. Live and learn!
