The Old Man Returneth

El Viejo wandered in around 5am, sat down and started chatting as if he'd never been gone. Just glad he's home for tomorrow's wedding.
I know what I'm cooking tonight: porkchops. Typical American fare.
You take some greasy fatty porkchops (not the lean expensive kind, those are for sissies) and soak them in cold milk with one egg mixed in.
Fill a plastic or paper bag with flour and salt/pepper to taste (herbs, such as sage, can be added too), take the pork chop, drop it in the bag and shake gently to coat.
Use a large frying pan, turn flame to medium-high and add approx 3 tablespoons of oil. Let the oil get hot (but don't let it start to smoke) and gently place chops in pan, making sure they don't touch each other.
When they are crisp and brown on both sides, turn heat to med-low so that they can cook through. Cover pan. Cook each side for ten minutes, checking often. Juices from bones should be clear. Turn heat up again and cook each side briefly to "re-crisp." If you like, you can use the pan drippings to make gravy. Or save them to make gravy for a future meal.
Serve with mashed potatoes, potatoes au gratin, etc. and some sort of veggie (canned corn) but the huge hunk of pork must be the main part of the meal. This is dinner, American style. Now belch and wipe your hands on the couch. Good boy.
