Yummy!!! I made this Spiced Pary Snack yesterday. The flavor is wonderful, but my popcorn got too "wet" and ended up as hard little clumps (I added too much Worcestershire sauce...somehow I read teaspoon as tablesppon...DOH!!).

As we speak (write?) I'm preparing your Pork Chops ~ Sweet and Sour from the The Clinton Legacy Cookbook page 113. I'll let you know how they turn out.
