Grillin' Pork Chops

This evening, I tried some new marinades and one of my traditional favorites with some pork chops on the grill. The pork chops had the bone in them and were custom cut at our local butcher shop, Peacock Meats #2 here in Warner Robins. I put four of them in a bag with my traditional marinade. The other four were split with two in a bag with Don's Seasoning Delight from Augusta, Georgia and the other two were marinaded in a Ginger Root Marinade from Hillside Orchard Farms Inc. in Tiger, Georgia. They spent a few hours in the fridge and I laid them out for about 30 minutes before they went on the grill. They grilled nicely and all were good. My traditional marinade was voted 4-0 the best of the three, with the Ginger Root marinade coming in second. Don's was not bad, but it will be used in the future for the crock pot marinade for roast beef. It make's an awesome crock pot roast!
Next, I made two different servings of grilled veggies (zukini & squash). The first was fixed with salt, pepper, a little olive oil, and some Dale's Seasoning Sauce. The second was fixed with salt, pepper, a little olive oil, and some of the Ginger Root Marinade. Hands down, by a 4-0 margine, the Ginger Root Marinade was excellent with grilled veggies.
Next weekend is Memorial Day weekend and I see BBQ chicken & ribs on the grill in my future for the family getting together!
