There's a yoga studio that I used to visit; when I checked its price schedule recently, I discovered that a single class is $22. This seems expensive.

Boneless Pork Loin Chop recipes?
I fried up some boneless pork loin chops for breakfast today. No breading. While they were quick to prepare, they didn't get brown by the time they were fully cooked, and they were less than tender. (I did overcook them by a minute - damn they cook fast!) Do you have any suggestions for a better method of preparation?

If you want them sweet, you can always add a bit more Truvia or Splenda. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/MistressPi
