What's for dinner?

I face this dilemma everyday. Today the answer is barbequed pork chops and sweet potato wedges. I like this recipe, but what I really like is how food sometimes makes me think of people. An old college roommate, Lisa, gave me the pork recipe. She said her mom made it on fridays. We got the sweet potato recipe from Todd and Cate. They were our next door neighbors the first year we were married. Their cooking skills definitely exceeded ours at the time, and they probably still do, but we were lucky to benefit regularly. I miss those friends and I love that I can cook something and think about them.
I know I tire of my everyday dinner menu, and I love getting recipes from friends that have been tried and proved true. Maybe you feel the same about yours, so here are a few of mine. Feel free to pass some along to me anytime!

Barbequed Pork Chops

3/4 c onion chopped
2 Tbsp butter
1 clove garlic
1/2 celery chopped
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp dry mustard
1/2 pepper
1 c catsup
2 Tbsp vinegar
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce

1) Brown pork chops (4-6) in frying pan
2) place in baking dish
3) brown onions with butter in frying pan
4) add rest of sauce ingredients and simmer (I sometimes add all sorts of veggies...carrots, peppers, zuchinni, etc)
5) cover pork chops with sauce
6) bake 1.5 hours at 350
7) serve with rice

Sweet Potato Wedges
1) Peel and slice into thin strips
2) lightly coat with veg oil
3) sprinkle with 2 parts sugar 1 part ground red pepper or chile pepper
4) bake on baking sheet 35-45 minutes flipping occaisionally (a higher temp works better, but I'll do them at 350 while the pork is in)
