It is still grilling season...one should be taking advantage of summer and use the grill often. It also is a perfect time for picnics, gettogether lunches that involve spending lots of time with favorite people while doing activities out in the sunshine. Based on personal experience, a fourseason calendar somehow makes time fly by faster. I remember still enjoying the heat and sunning in the swimming pool one July day and then noticing that it was getting too cold to do that the next weekend.

Well, I am currently back home in the tropics and it happens to be typhoon time....lots of rain will come visiting in this island country. The sun does shine stronger in our neck of the woods..and when it does, expect the aroma of grilled food to fill the every corner of this tropical paradise. Filipinos love their grilled food and enjoy eating them whenever they can.

Enjoy this porkchops recipe.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Cook's Notes:

Plain rice and a vegetable dish will go well with this meal. You can also try flavored rice that have been featured in previous articles to pair with the chops.

I sometimes make use of my own chili oil....just get some chilis, the spicy hot small ones that are common here in asia. I remove the stems and just add them to a bottle of olive oil and have them rest. When the oil has darkened red in color, it can then be used. I add them while sauteeing or to vinegar-soy dipping sauces that is a natural accompaniment to grilled food here in my country.
