A man's place

John Gibson, 13, of Oregon City knows his place is the 4-H kitchen. With just one hour to make a batch of applesauce and oven-baked pork chops, John gets right to work.
















After putting the pork chops in to bake, John washed his apples.

















Then he put the apples on this cool little peeler-corer thing-a-ma-jig.

















Not all of the apples ended up in the sauce, however.

















John serves up his pork chops topped with applesauce for the judge.

















And then he listens to her feedback about his performance.


Remember fairgoers, when the 4-H kids cook, there are often free samples afterward!
