Tonight the lovely Mary came over for dinner. Mary is having a baby in 3 months which has me way excited making little baby things!
Tonight for dinner I brined a couple pork chops and then rubbed them with Penzey’s Galena rub and threw them on the grill. I softened half a stick of butter, added chili powder and lime juice and used that to baste the corn on the cob which was also on the grill. I served that with a salad of greens, tomato and chevre with a mustard vinaigrette (made with homemade mustard) and rosemary, sundried tomato focaccia.
The brining kept the pork chops juicy and flavorful, they were wonderful.
For dessert I served the mexican chocolate ice cream that I posted earlier and we sauced it with the raspberry sauce she made from the raspberries in her yard.
I ate til it hurt and the food was delicious. I still have half a loaf of focaccia! Someone come help me eat it.
