Went to a wood fire. Too bad for the piggy that stayed home. Nobody likes him anyway. Everyone liked the wood fired piggy. Delish. Wood fired pork chops with Caribbean Grill Rub. We picked the rub up just yesterday, at TJ Maxx (love that store). Scott picked the rub out, and out of the three he picked, this would have been the one I might have put back on the shelf. I would have been wrong. It was delicious in this venue and will be great with fish in the future (I will get back to you on that). In addition to the rub, I added fresh cracked pepper, kosher salt and a little extra virgin olive oil. We grilled them up over a wood fire stoked with hard wood maple. Served with red potatoes slathered in Vidalia onions, fresh cut chives, kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper, we cook them in a tin foil pan on the gas grill. For our vegetable (because I am all about balance) we had a pretty romaine lettuce salad with orange peppers, Vidalia onions, apples, strawberries, avocado, tomatoes and a dressing made of lemon juice, cracked pepper, thick rind orange marmalade and olive oil. I made bread in the black pot (cracked wheat, sesame, flax seed and sunflower). Yummy. Really yummy. I didn't know if I should talk about the chops, potatoes, salad or bread. Each could hold it's own in a fight. Trust me. With a meal like this, no one will be crying wee wee wee, all the way home.
