This
dish is named after a childhood hero of mine from way back in the mid
fifties. Somehow as a child I could identify something about this guy
that I could relate to. Be sure to read a quick write-up of this
former member of the original Mickey Mouse Club!
Baked
pork chops with a bright lining. Who could ask for an easier “fancy”
dish?
Ingredients:
2
butterflied Pork Chops
1
small tub cream cheese spread with pineapple
¼
cup dried cranberries
¼
cup crushed sour cream & onion flavored rippled potato chips
¼
cup mayonnaise
Directions:
Prepare
the baking tray by lining with foil and spraying a rack.
Pre
heat oven to 450 degrees.
In
a wide bowl crush the chips into bread crumb sized pieces. Slave used
a meat tenderizer, however DO NOT pound with it. Just gently rock the
head against the chips until you have reached the tiny grains you
want.
Set
up your assembly line: put down some foil on the counter.
Dry
off the chops with paper towels. Place a tablespoon or two of cheese
spread down the center of the opened chop. Press in about a tsp of
dried cranberries in each. Gently pull each side out and around the
stuffing. Secure with toothpicks.
Tip
use the same number of picks in each so you know to remove all of
them before serving. Sending guests to the emergency room is
considered poor form.
Now
brush with mayonnaise and pat into the chip crumbs. Place on
roasting rack so they do not touch.
Since
slave is serving this with roasted vegetables, a tray was set up for
them. The vegetables were lightly coated with olive oil and sprinkled
with salt.
Both
the chops and the vegetables are put into the preheated oven for 25
to 30 minutes. The vegetables will be4 done first, so be ready to
pull them.
Check
meat with a thermometer, it must read at least 155 degrees for
the pork. If not you may have to let the pork continue to cook for
another 5 minutes.
Dish
up and serve.
For
our music, lets have
So

Tommy
Kirk
Tommy
Kirk was
many a young gay boys
idol!
In 1955 he became a member of The
Mickey
Mouse Club. He was
the irrepressibly
inquisitive
young sleuth Joe Hardy in two
"Hardy Boys" serials with Tim
Considine,
another young Disney boy, playing older
brother Frank. In
fact the two were paired so
often as brothers, many fans assumed they
were.
Often
appearing shirtless, Kirk enjoyed a
career as a child actor in
classic films like Old
Yeller and Swiss Family Robinson.
In
1963 his world fell apart completely when the Disney factory found
out 21-year-old Tommy was gay. He was also arrested on Christmas Eve
in 1964 when a party he was attending was raided and busted for
marijuana use. Although
charges were dropped, it was too late. The Disney studio, released
him from his contract.
Tommy
Kirk described his life this way: “I
consider my teenage years as being
desperately unhappy. I knew I was
gay since
I was a little kid, but I had no outlet for my
feelings and
I felt that I could not confide in
anyone because of the fear of
being
discovered to who I really was. It was very
hard to meet people
and, at that time, there
was no place to go to socialize.
It wasn't until the early Sixties that I began
to hear of places where gays
congregated...
When I was about 17 or 18 years old, I
finally admitted to myself that I wasn't going
to change. I was born
homosexual and I
had to accept that.
I didn't know what the consequences would
be if I came out, but I had the definite
feeling
that it was going to wreck my Disney
career and maybe my whole acting
career...
and I turned out to be right. Eventually, I
became involved
with somebody and I was
fired. Disney was a family film studio and I
was supposed to be their young, leading
man. After they found out I
was involved with
some guy, that was the end of Disney.”
His
career went into sharp decline and he
found himself blacklisted by
Disney. Tommy
disappeared from the public. His life went
into a tailspin. Depressed
and angry, he
nearly died from an acute overdose at one
point. He
felt the need to completely
abandon his career and moved forward as a
recovering addict. He was able to build a
very successful carpet and
upholstery
cleaning company.
It stayed open for business for well over two
decades.
In
the early 2000s, after Disney declared him
a company legend, inviting
him to appear at
various conventions which also lead to
getting roles
in several films as well.
