Even the quickest dinners need a certain amount of organization! In this case you'll have to cheat a little, making the meringue [Fall Feast - Pavlova} a day or two ahead of time.

Keep it in a cool place, but not in the fridge, since refrigeration makes the meringue sticky.

The remainder of the mean can be prepared in under one hour.

First dice the vegetables for the chowder and get the soup cooking. Then dice the vegetables for the pork dish, saut the pork and vegetables and place them in the oven, as directed.

While the meat cooks, prepare the homestyle potatoes.

Finish by garnishing the dessert.

The pork and the potatoes will be ready at the same time, so keep them warm while you finish the sauce for the pork. The soup and potatoes reheat well, but the pork is best served as soon as it is cooked.
