Thanks to Anna Welander for this one:

After discussing the "food chain" with my fifth grade class, I told them
their weekend homework was to write a sentence showing they understood
the meaning of the term. On Monday morning, one student handed this in:
"Burger King is my favorite food chain."

             TODAY'S RECIPE
__________________________________________________

This recipe was handed down from my great grandmother. She immigrated to
the US as an infant with her Scottish parents sometime around 1875. Not
only did she cook for her eight children, but at different times in her
life she cooked three square meals a day for the forty or so coal miners
that worked for my great grandfather, and she owned a restaurant. This
was one of her crowd-pleasers.

Susanna Cochran Graham's Barbecued Pork Chops

6 medium pork chops
1 Tbs (15 ml) oil or butter
1/2 cup (125 ml) brown sugar
1/4 cup (60 ml) vinegar
1 14+1/2 oz (411 g) can tomatoes
1 tsp (5 ml) allspice
4 whole cloves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Brown the pork chops in the oil or butter and place in a single layer in
a baking dish. Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl, mixing to
combine, and pour over the pork chops. Bake in a preheated 350F (180C)
oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
