Glazed Pork Chops with Asian Flavors, and Sautéed Mushrooms with Sesame and Ginger, both from the Cook's Illustrated Cookbook. Very nice--we give the mushrooms a 3, and the chops a 4. Served with brown rice and a green salad with an Asian style dressing.

Wine: Mas des Chimères 2003 Coteaux du Langedoc--very nice, still excellent, and a great match
