Balsamic Pork Chops
Minow, did you use Balsamic Vinegar or Vinaigrette? I made it with the vinaigrette, as directed, and did not find it strong at all. I do agree with your idea to add some herbs.

White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake
I get requests for this recipe all the time! To prevent leaks, I wrap the bottom of the springform pan in tinfoil. (this also helps if you're baking the cheesecake in a water bath, and don't want water seeping INTO your cheesecake!) A few other tips: Make sure ALL of your ingredients are at room temperature. This prevents lumps. Once you beat the cream cheese and sugar, scrape the bowl. After you add each egg, scrape the bowl! It ensures a uniform batter.

Buttermilk Scones
They are moister than most scones, but left a bad aftertaste in my mouth. 2 tablespoons of baking powder seems like too much.
