Happy 31st birthday to my brother, Matt!  

I didn't get to celebrate with my brother today, but I did get a photo of his birthday cake from my dad.  They used lifesavers as candle holders on top of his cake.  What a fun idea!

We marinated and grilled pork chops and had a side of roasted broccoli with garlic for our dinner tonight.  The chops were marinated in Grill Mates Peppercorn and Garlic marinade for half of the day.  They cooked on Direct Medium heat for ten minutes, five on each side. 

Katie was a really good eater today.  She ate the pork I gave her without any complaints and even asked for more.  She tried the broccoli, but ended up spitting it out.  Since Ben and I only started liking broccoli last year, we can hardly blame her.  I was just pleased she was willing to try it.  Perhaps she doesn't like how crispy and charred we make it.  To be honest, I know I couldn't eat it raw or even steamed.  The garlic and charred flavors help me forget it's broccoli:)
