Aunt Ann's Pork Chops and Sour Cream

I collect recipes, I love to cook and come from a long line of cooks.  


My Aunt Ann, was an amazing. wonderful, talented woman. Her words were wise, and strong and meaningful.  She would listen to you , let you plead your case, state your facts, still our your heart or your guts. And when you were finished, and only when you were finished she would give it to you. Rather it was the cold hard truth, a good chewing out or a hug.  You might not always agree with her words right at that moment but sooner or later and most of the time it was sooner, you would realize she was right.  Her answers always seemed to be the answer you needed to hear not wanted to hear.  Aunt Ann was a great cook, not sure if it was Mammy that taught her, or Nanny Leland or she just like me started cooking, threw this in that in if it worked fine, if not start all over.  There were so many dishes she cooked that I remember, so many that I wish I would had got the recipes for.  Two of my favorites were.. Sour Cream Pork Chops and her Black Forest Cake.
