tray baked pork chops with parsnips and pears

Thanks to all the feedback I got from the previous entry I was able to eat our own pork. I've decided that it is ok to love your livestock, surely thats got to be better than abusing it or not caring at all, also that it is ok that I don't kill it, chickens and smaller things I can cope with, killing a pig is a big job and not always very pleasant, whatever your method. It's not completely necessary to do the whole thing, the rearing bit I can do, some of the butchering and then the eating. Thats fine with me
