While whipped cream is popular and delicious, a wonderful variation is to reserve the whites from the eggs used in the custard and make a meringue to top the pie. I love meringue and prefer the airy contrast as topping for cream pies.

Tosh T. With my husband's help, we grilled these pork chops. I'm a vegetarian, but an unselfish one, so I will cook meat for him. He loves these pork chops, but said they were a bit too salty. Don't use two tablespoons which the recipe calls for. Remember when she cut the tendons in the meat? That works. The pork stayed flat. They did not curl. My husband said maybe a tablespoon and one teaspoon. He also said a little sugar may have tamed the salt. Did that help?
