Sweet and Sour Pork Chops tonight, with grilled corn on the cob and wild rice !!

4 large thick pork chops "Bone In" cooked the way you like them, grilled, broiled, oven baked.

4 ears of sweet yellow corn on the cob still in the shuck, grill them as you grill the chops.

Cook the wild rice while your chops are cooking.

Sweet and Sour Sauce,

1/2 cup of firmly packed brown sugar, I prefer light brown sugar, you can use dark but it will give it a really sweet taste and you won't get the eveness of sweet and sour.

2 Tablespoons of Corn Starch

1 large can of pineapple, chunks or crushed

1/4 cup of white vinegar, or 1/16 of a cup if you don't want it to have a bite to it.

1/2 of a finely chopped Red Bell Pepper

Mix the brown sugar and starch together until the brown sugar no longer clumps and it looks like a powdered sugar mix, if the mix does not smooth out, add or keep adding a touch more corn starch until it does, just be really careful not to add too much starch, add in the vinegar and the pineapple and mix thuroghly, if there is not much pineapple juice in the can you can add a little of your favorite juice, apple or orange juice, the mixture should look nice and wet but it needs to be somewhat thick.

If you like your peppers to have a charred taste to them you can pre-grill them first, it adds an excellent flavor to the sauce, otherwise just add the red pepper to the mix and stir again.

Turn the burner on medium high and stir continuously until mixture starts to thicken nicely, remove from heat, try to avoid making it boil, it tends to give the sauce a burnt taste and it really makes a mess too.

You can either use the sauce to make sweet and sour rice, or you can use it for the chops, or both, one of my families favorite dishes.

My favorite way to cook sweet corn. But I peel off some of the husks, then brush olive oil on the kernels, season, and close the husks, and place on the grille.

Ah yes, it's soooooooo good, try mixing a little touch of cinnamon sugar in your butter and put that in the husk.

Extra virgin olive oil makes everything gooooood !!!!!....your making me hungry already lol !!

This is the seasoning we use. It's good on anything, poultry, meat, fish, vegetables, etc. Maybe not so much on deserts, but haven't tried it, so cannot be sure.

My girlfriend went to bed early and I was too lazy to make myself something. Dinner tonight was a handful of Hersheys kisses with almonds and some Hersheys Cookies and Cream Santa Clauses.
