I don't remember eating pork chops growing up, but we eat them about once a week in our house,  partly because I found this tasty recipe on allrecipes.com.  The only down side in summer is that I hate cooking anything in the oven when it's hot weather because it makes our house extra hot.  But today is rainy and in the 70s so we are having these tonight. Ingredients 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt Dash pepper 3/4 cup soft bread crumbs 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 1/2 teaspoons rubbed sage 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel 1 egg, lightly beaten 2 bone-in pork loin chops 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil 1 tablespoon butter or margarine Directions In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt and pepper.
