Most recently I got to meet another beautiful & talented Just a Pinch cook named Tess Geer who lives here in Ohio near me. My husband Anthony & my parents got to dine with her at her beautiful home. She was not only a gracious host but a wonderful teacher about the french culture too. She also taught us about the importance of brining meats along with sharing recipes of the dishes she prepared. So, when I got home I had to try brining some pork chops of my own. They turned out just as moist as her chicken did and it was one fabulous meal that I am sure to make again.
