Pork Chops with vinegar and honey

My pork chops have never been very good.  I saw this recipe online and decided to try a version of it.  The key is to use some vinegar and honey in the marinade and saute them in a pan with a bit of oil for approximately 4 minutes per side.  They taste like steaks!

6-8 bone in pork chops (3/4" thick approx)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
4 tbs canola oil for pan frying, top up as necessary
1/2 can tomato paste
1 onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tbs white vinegar ( apple cider vinegar is fine too)
2 tbs honey or maple syrup
1/2 tsp thyme or other herb

Marinate the chops with all the ingredients, overnight  is good but not necessary.  Heat the oil and saute the chops approximately 4 minutes per side.

I thought I heard on the radio this morning that Matthew Broderick was unfaithful to Sarah Jessica Parker and they are splitting up. Must've been a mid-life crisis.

It was a gorgeous winter's day. Cold, but no appreciable wind and the sun came out.

If anyone is interested in a simple pork chop recipe, here's how I did it today.

6 pork chops
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1/4 cup flour

pre-heat oven to 350F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Season chops and dredge in the flour. Bake for 35 mins, turning in the last 15 mins.
