"  It&amp;#039;s not a perfect image of maternal felicity, I know: I&amp;#039;m rocking my feverish baby while she sleeps, laptop perched and open on the armrest of my chair. Shouldn&amp;#039;t I be gazing worriedly at the baby in my arms? Yes. But. If I had been doing that, I wouldn&amp;#039;t have followed the links to this recipe at Eggs on Sunday. The pork chops are gorgeous, though, with a glossy, luxurious glaze that belies the simplicity of the recipe.  I could only find thin-cut bone-in pork chops at the grocery store, so I was able to skip the oven step and go straight from browning the chops to making the sauce. I patted the chops dry, seasoned with salt and pepper and heated some oil in a big skillet. When the oil was shimmering, I added the chops. Browned them on one side, until they no longer stick when I tried to lift them up, then flipped them and browned the other side. Removed them from the pan, poured off all but a bit of the fat in the pan, then saut\u00A9ed one minced shallot, some thyme and \u00BD teaspoon salt. Poured in 1/3 cup cider vinegar and scraped the browned bits off the bottom of the skillet, then added \u00BD cup real maple syrup and crushed peppercorns. Let that reduce a bit, then pour over the finished chops.  These recipes dress up easy pork chops, too: Pork Cutlet with Cranberry-Port Sauce Pork Chops with Sweet Mustard Sauce This recipe is a tried-and-true favorite at Eggs on Sunday. What&amp;#039;s your tried-and-true dinner? \u2014 Kim Walker  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
