DUTCH SLAVINKEN # 1
Simple but very good comfort food. Normally made with just some salt, pepper and nutmeg in the meat filling but I make them different these days and with many variations (just don't tell my mother!). Slavink translates as beatfinch (yes I know its weird) they are wrapped in bacon and another version is blinde vink= blind finch (even weirder) that is the same meat filling but then wrapped in a thin slice of veal. These days often replaced with a slice of beef. Some still name it blinde vink but the right name is runder vink=beef finch. I have tried very hard over the years to understand why they are named like this since I can honestly not see the resemblance of a bird in these sausages and I've never seen one fly away! No Dutch person in their right mind makes them at home since you can buy them ready made from every butcher and in every super market. Now that information should tell you something about the poster of this recipe, who is Dutch.... My excuse is that I lived many years abroad and that is when you crave for the simple dishes of your home country. We eat them here with vegetables and potatoes but they are also good cooked on the barbeque and served on buns with ketcup and mustard.

FRIED PORK CHOPS WITH BROWN MILK GRAVY
This is the way we cooked pork chops in my younger days down south. It is NOT a recipe for those beautiful thick chops that need tender care. It IS a recipe for quick, tasty meat with good old down home taste, and gnawing on the bone if you never make it to the gravy. Bone-in chops add a lot more flavor and they taste great with mashed potatoes. For those who grew up with brown gravy made with water, just substitute water for the milk/cream.

- Melt 2 tablespoons butter and oil in skillet over medium high heat until hot.
- If NOT making gravy, brown chops on both sides until done. Drain on paper towels, then serve.
