And with a pork chop, a gender barrier is destroyed!

I’ll admit it, I was afraid of the grill.  Why, might you ask?  I think it was due to a widely-held belief that guys are better at grilling.  Which is about as dumb as saying guys are better at math.  But even still, I always made Nate do the grilling.  I wouldn’t even heat the grill up before he got home.  What a wimp.

So, the other night, when I had some beautifully-marinated pork chops (thanks to Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce) ready to go and found out that Nate would be late…well, I had to step up to the plate.  And boy did I step.  Homerun, people!  I did a little research online and fired up the grill to great success.

How did I get these pork chops to come out so beautifully?  Sadly, I didn’t write it down.  I think I cooked them over medium heat until they reached 140 degrees.  But don’t quote me on that.  Regardless, they came out perfectly.  We’ll just say it was intuition.

I am woman, watch me grill!!!

  1. I was craving shish kabobs a couple of weeks ago, but I had to grill them myself. I was pretty suprised how fun it wasx to grill and enjoy the fruits of my labor. Good job on the pork chops- they look marvelous!

  2. The pork chops look delicious. I wish we could grill, but it’s in our contract that we can’t have one. Blerg. Maybe I’ll fire up the torch instead.

  3. I also never seem to do any grilling. Maybe I’ll be brave!

  5. My husband actually refuses to grill. Fortunately I am happy to play with fire and it is really easy (which is probably why it is traditionally a man’s job).

  6. your comments are all making me smile…

    allison, it’s funny, when I grilled these pork chops, I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t get it to light…I hadn’t opened the valve. for all I know I forgot about it at the end and it’s still open. ;)

    right on, marie!

  7. With my husband’s work schedule (Trader Joe’s) I do ALL the grilling Tuesday through Saturday. I must say…I’m better at it than he is, although that might be because I get so much practice! Very liberating.
