Marge Simpson’s Porkchops

In season 2, Episode 9 of the Simpsons, Marge describes her porkchop seasoning recipe to Homer. I had everything on hand except chervil. A quick trip to my favourite spice store and I was ready to make my own!

I was also craving ceasar salad and had been meaning to try a new roasted carrot recipe for some time.
