I need an interesting way to prepare pork chops. Actually I need two interesting ways.

I know one way; it's decent and I may use it, but it depends on what ideas I get. So if you can think of anything yummy, comment me with a recipe!

Reliable AB suggestion: cure the pork, stuff and grill (broil). This works best with big, thick cut chops.

Generic Pork Cure:
1 c. white sugar
1 c. kosher salt

Rub both sides of each chop thoroughly with the cure. Refrigerate overnight in zip lock bag(s). Wash off the cure before proceding.

General all purpose delicious yummy stuffing(tm):

1/4 c. golden raisins
6 c. corn bread (I use Marie Callendar mix)
1-1/2 c. buttermilk (mixture should be relatively "thick")
1/3 c. diced onions
1/3 c. diced artichoke hearts
1/3 c. chopped mushrooms (optional)
4 or 5 leaves of fresh sage, finely diced
salt, pepper to taste

Mix well. Can be refrigerated for a couple days if you want to do some advance prep. I stuff the pork chops and then bake the remainder of the stuffing in its own pan (400 oven for about 25-30 minutes) It's done when the peaks of the stuffing are looking dark brownish and the rest is golden brown on top.

Broil for about 5-6 minutes per side. Let rest for a few before serving. I usually plate with additional stuffing and some kind of steamed vegetable: asparagus works really well with this meal.

About the cornbread... I should've included the word "prepared". Don't just mix in 6 c. of dry mix. :-)
