PORK CHOPS WITH TOMATO-RICE
4 thick pork chops
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 can (16oz) can stewed tomatoes
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup uncooked brown rice
In a large, heavy, deep skillet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, brown chops on both sides. Season with salt and pepper. Add tomatoes and water; sprinkle with rice. Cover tightly and cook over very low heat for 50 to 60 minutes or until chops are tender. Add more water if necessary later in the cooking process.
HOMEMADE RUSSIAN SALAD DRESSING
1 cup olive oil
1 cup catsup
1 cup Splenda
2/3 cup cider vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1 clove garlic, chopped
Place all ingredients in blendar jar. Pulse until well blended. Store in refrigerator in a cruet or jar with lid.
APPLESAUCE-RAISIN-CINNAMON CAKE
3 cups water, divided
1 1/4 cups raisins
2 1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce
3 eggs, beaten, or 3/4 cup egg substitute
1 1/2 cups Equal Sugar-Lite
1 cup canola oil
3 cups self-rising flour
3 tbsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp vanilla extract
Non-stick vegetable oil spray
In a large heavy-duty saucepan, combine 2 1/2 cups water and the raisins; bring to a boil. Continue boiling until water is gone. Remove from the heat. Add applesauce, eggs, Equal, oil and remaining water. Stir to combine well. Sift together flour, cinnamon, and soda. Gradually add flour mixture to the applesauce mixture, stirring after each addition.
Spray a 10-inch Bundt pan with vegetable oil spray. Spoon batter into pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing from pan. Cool on a wire rack.
Cake should be cut into 28 thin serving slices. Diabetics should only eat one serving per day.

I have some Wooden Salad Bowls, and I'd like some info on caring for them?
I've had them for a number of years, and have recently "re-discovered" them. They're in good condition, but slightly worn from use. How would I make them look new again? Should they be oiled? Is there some kind of finish that can be applied?
fishtwat, thanks for such a great answer...maybe you should soak your head in gasoline for 30 days! Seems that you must have a great personality!
don't let them sit in dish water, don't put them in the dish washer, after washing them, dry them soon after and oil them down with cooking oil. if they dry out , they will crack. there should be no type of finish except natural
