Skipper Zipp's Chops and Chips

In honor of Dr Suess's birthday I got out my Green Eggs and Ham cookbook...

If you like to eat potato chips and chew pork chops on clipper ships, I suggest that you chew a few chips and a chop at Skipper Zipp's Clipper Ship Chip Chop Shop.

Okay down to the business of cooking ...

• 4 center cut pork loin chops with bone
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 4 large potatoes, cut lengthwise into  wedges
• 1 1/2 tbs extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 tsp paprika

Preheat the oven to 350.
Sprinkle half the salt and all the pepper on the chops and put them on a baking sheet. Set Aside
Put the potatoes on a baking sheet then sprinkle them with the olive oil and roll them around. Sprinkle them with the remaining 1/2 tsp salt and paprika
Put the potatoes in the oven and turn after a half hour

Put the chops in the oven when you turn the potatoes, Cook both until the chops are juicy and brown. 

YUMMY 

NOW for a birthday you have to have a cake and what is better then a CAT IN THE HAT TUB CAKE!

SO I got my baking book out again and made the Angel food cake... yummy...then

3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

1/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup strawberries

I beat the cream until it stood in soft peaks.  I added the sugar and beat until it stood in firm peaks

In a blender, I pured the strawberries leaving a few to garnish.

I folded the strawberries into the cream. I then spread it on the outside of the cake. I put the rest in the middle, filling it to the brim. Decorated the top with the extra berries.

Lets just say... it was a HUGE HIT!!!! My daughter even came down from her place and took some home...I think I found the perfect cake! well.. next time maybe some chocolate sauce too !
