Here's another easy little recipe using honey:

salt & pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients together & whisk until it's mixed well.

Sanford Tornado

Here's a little clip of the devistation here in Sanford NC.  Many people have lost everything and many no longer have a place to go to work.  Fortunatly the storm touched down just north of our subdivision and I only had a tree fall in my yard. Sara & I along with Grady spent the day helping neighbors clean trees from their properties & met many new people & made many new friends. 

Grilled Honey Garlic Chops

With the honey flow just begining here in NC here's a recipe that calls for some liquid gold:

1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon dry sherry
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 boneless pork chops

Combine the lemon juice, honey, soy sauce, sherry, and garlic in a bowl and mix together.
Place the chops in a large ziplock bag and add the marinade and refrigerate for a minimum of 4hrs.
Remove pork from the plastic bag & simmer the remaining marinade on the stove top in a small saucepan.
Grill the pork over medium heat (gas or coals) for 12-15 minutes, turning once during cooking & basting frequently with the marinade. Use a meat thermometer and make sure that it reads 155-160 when inserted in the chop.

Enjoy with a cold PBR!
