Hello all Galloping Gourmet here,
I was down to dry cereal but my friend came to my rescue. She brought me some really thick pork chops, potatoes asparagus and salad. She said cook at 350 for 40 minutes which I did but they weren’t done so I kicked it up to 400 for another 15 minutes but I forgot the timer. 5 1/2 hrs later I went in the kitchen and I noticed I forgot to turn off the oven. Haha, I also forgot to take out the chops. They weren’t burnt amazingly enough but they sure were tender.
My friend refuses to accept any money and won’t take any food. Any suggestions how to pay her for being so kind. Gift certificates is all I can come up with.

@jakedduck1 Glad your friend came to your rescue. There are so many great ideas here for gifts, the only thing I can add is flowers! If you have an idea of when she will be coming go to trader joe’s Or Whole Foods, they both have great florals. If you have neither of those then your local supermarket. I like having orchid plants and have given them too. I try to pick them up when they are $10 - $15, or if a gift I will go higher. Mine generally last at least two months so they’re a better buy than cut flowers. There are other flowering plants too, but the orchids are very easy care.

@jakeduck
What did you cook the pork chops in? Had to be a liquid or you would have had really crispy chops. Surprised you didn’t smell them cooking....or were you overdosing on candy somewhere.🤔

@jakedduck1 Does she have a hobby or pastime that she enjoys? An event that she would enjoy going to that you could escort her and take her? Something she has said she wants to get "at some point" but hasn't yet?
