Sometimes I have trouble with pork chops being dry..well not with this recipe. I scaled back a little on ingredients as I only used 3 pork chops, after removing from oven I drained some liquid before adding the gratin..no problem with the browning..and was rewarded with delicious tender tasty pork chops. Thanks for a great recipe, I will add to my favourite file.

I'm a small animal veterinary technician working full time. In my spare (?) time I love to bake and cook. I have about 80 different cookbooks and I guess my favorite ones are those that involve CHOCOLATE!!

<br>My biggest 'pet' peeve is people who treat their dogs and cats like disposable products...look after the health and well-being of your pets, PLEASE! They depend on you! ('Nuff said!).

<br>June 2003 Update: I now work part-time as a vet tech and part-time as an ER ward clerk at a local hospital. After being a technician for 20 years, the emotional stress was getting too hard to handle. Putting an older pet to sleep after I'd watched them grow up over the years was something I could no longer do. I decided to look for a new job while I was still 40-something rather than wait 4 years when I was 50-something! Working with animals is in my blood however, so I could not give it up entirely.
