Sure, I'll go with medallions. I'm remembering that a few years ago the
American Pork Council (whatever their trade association name is) coined
"America's Cut" as the name for a lean boneless pork chop. A boneless
center loin chop, actually. Supposed to be a versatile cut. Makes me
wonder if they thought "medallions" was a little hoity-toity for
recognition by the commoners.

And I've thawed the cherries for another batch of the stuff. :-)
and I've got to improve my grilling technique -- I make a miserable pork
chop and about the only success I've had has been on the grill. Lately,
that's been pretty lousy, too. :-/

Hey, I'm always happy to talk about my flops.

Enjoy.

Thanks, Bob. If I sliced one of these babies into, say, half inch
slices, what might I do with them and how long would they take? Ech.
Maybe I should go dig up the Cook's Ill. recipe for pork chops. Several
years ago they had a thang about it that I actually followed. :-)
Came out fine. Better than fine. Involved some balsamic vinegar.

BTW, I was poking around the various Pork Producers Associations and
Boards and my own MinnySoda site has some nice pages of recipes and info:
