Today I marinated three, one-inch thick pork chops in Weber Grill Creations White Wine and Herb marinade mix.  The pork chops were in the marinade, in the refrigerator, for three to four hours before I broiled them.  I took them out of the refrigerator for the last hour so that they would get back up to room temperature.  They were broiled on high for 7 minutes on each side.  They were very tender and moist with great flavor.  

I made a side salad of spinach, goat cheese crumbles, mandarin orange segments, and balsamic vinaigrette.  Katie gulped down her oranges immediately and then spent 1/2 hour horsing around before she finished eating her small portion of pork.  We had to bribe her with one more piece of orange in order to get her to finish eating.  At the end of her meal, she said she wanted ice cream.  While Ben and I discussed her request in code,  she announced that she was "all done."  Discussion done.  More ice cream for us:)
