Trinculo's Cafe has won the

The first week in May, I received an email from a young woman who was anxious
to provide a home-cooked meal for her mother as a Mother's Day surprise.
Reproduced here you will find her letter and my response. I think you will
enjoy this casserole as much as I hope Natalie and her mother did!


Dear Stray Gourmet,
For Mother's Day this year, I would like to cook for my mother. 
I am 17 years old and I never cook. I never help my mom in the 
kitchen and everything I attempt to make tastes terrible. Can 
you please give me an idea on what to cook for my mother? And
please include the recipe. Please make it something simple but 
good and something I can't mess up.
                                        Thank You!
                                              - Natalie
 

Hi Natalie -
Try this really delicious and easy recipe that I learned from 
MY mother. Serve with a crisp green salad and applesauce. I 
guarantee this dinner will be delicious!
Good luck, and happy cooking -
The Stray Gourmet


                                      


Dorothy's Pork Chops & Scalloped Potatoes

6 thick center cut pork chops
12 large potatoes, peeled and sliced into thin round slices
2 large onions, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
flour
salt 
pepper
3/4 cup milk
paprika

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a 9" x 13" baking dish.

Layer potatoes and onions alternately in the pan.
Salt and pepper each layer lightly and sprinkle 
each layer with 2 tablespoons of flour.

When you have layered and seasoned all the potatoes 
and onions, pour the milk over the layers.

Place the pork chops on top and cover tightly with foil.

Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.

Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees, remove foil, 
and sprinkle chops lightly with paprika on one side. Bake 
uncovered for 3 minutes. Turn chops over, sprinkle with 
more paprika on the other side, and bake for another 3 minutes.
