What’s Happening Today – May 10, 2022

Today on DelmarvaLife –

May is National Stroke Awareness Month. Neurosurgeon Dr. Sophia Shakur with TidalHealth Peninsula Regional educates us on the signs and symptoms of strokes. She also shares about how she and others help folks get on the road to recovery.

Bringing joy to children and families that are going through difficult situations. That’s the name of the game for the nonprofit group, Pursuit for Peace. A few members of the organization join us to show how they make this happen.

Rockin’ for Recovery in Sussex County. We’ve got the executive director of the Sussex County Health Coalition to share about the theme of the event, Squashing the Stigma.

We get a visit from the Station 82 ladder truck from the Lewes Fire Department.

Brian Spicer president of Spicer Bros. Construction joins us to talk about his cousin, Georgetown Police Officer Chad Spicer, who was killed in the line of duty in 2008.

Instead of making pork chops the way you always do, we suggest giving these a try! They’re weeknight-perfect and the bacon-onion marmalade delivers a whole lot of flavor. So, grab a skillet (we suggest a cast iron one, if you have it!) and get ready to cook up something new and delicious for dinner tonight!

What You’ll Need

1/2 stick butter
1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons salt, divided
4 slices crispy-cooked bacon, crumbled
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup milk
4 (1-inch thick) pork loin chops
3/4 cup vegetable shortening

What to Do

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter and saute onion 6 to 8 minutes or until soft. Add balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; heat 3 to 4 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in bacon and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a shallow dish, combine flour, paprika, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper; mix well. Place milk in another shallow dish. Dip pork chops in milk, then in flour mixture, coating completely. Then, dip again in milk and flour mixture.
In a large cast iron skillet, heat shortening over medium heat until hot, but not smoking. Add chops and cook 6 to 8 minutes per side or until cooked through and coating is golden. Drain on paper towel-lined platter. Spoon bacon and onion mixture over pork chops, and serve.
