Grilled Pork Chops, Ginger Barbecue Sauce; figs

I posted a recipe for Grilled Chicken Breasts with Ginger Barbecue Sauce last month.

The Barbecue Sauce is the same – but it’s so good it deserves to be repeated.

Actually, there is enough barbecue sauce for both the chicken and pork, so I usually make one batch of sauce and grill both within the week.

The marinades, however, are different.

As they should be…. different meat; different flavors.

We have not been very happy, chez nous, for the past week.

Two days out of the past ten have been nice. The rest have been cold with sun followed by downpours and totally dominated by high winds.

Frankly, all of us are getting quite tired of it all.

Both dogs have been hiding in the pantry most days as they don’t like wind or storms.

What they do like is to have the door open.

Bonnie, especially,

She is our head door-dog:

This is her preferred spot whenever the weather is decent enough to have the door open.

Guapa will be out patrolling the property, protecting us from lizards, birds and bunnies.

Bonnie will be in the doorway, surveying her domain…. Sometimes her eyes will even be open.

On the other hand, the high winds have brought down bucket-loads of figs.

Both dogs know that, when given treats, they go to their respective beds to eat them.

Bonnie has been bringing figs in to eat on her bed.

Guapa’s waiting for the plums….
