I sauteed the onions for 2 minutes to flavor the 1 tablespoon of oil moved them to the side added the lean boneless chops browned and flipped topped with the onions, apples and sauce till chops were browned on the bottom toss all to coat chops and cooked till done about 10 additional minutes. The apple were firm the chops tender but we were not fond of the sauce. Thanks!

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
