Hey ainjel!
Please find that recipe for soy-orange seasoned pork chops. That sounds tasty. I had avoided pork for years because of the way they're raised in cages and they're not allowed to move. But we had a new grocery store open up a few months ago, and they sell cruelty free pork. I realize that they're being raised for food but they shouldn't be treated like machines.

If you're ever wanting cruelty free pork you should also look for Niman Ranch pork. It's a bit pricier but if I remember correctly.... it's actually organic as well. You should be able to run a search for Niman Ranch and locate a local distributer through their main website. It looks like they also have Beef and Lamb.

Wow, I thought I was the odd ball by being considerate of how animals were treated in the food industry. But there's a few of us here. Once a checkout person thought I was crazzziee for buying free range eggs because the animals were treated right.
Thanks for the link to the Niman Ranch. They have lots of good food there!
Here's a link Niman Ranch for anyone else that's interested in how their food is raised. What a great way for a caring farmer to use the internet.

Thanks Tinker!
I made your suggestion of mustard and Italian seasoning, with a twist of cooking it on the grill. The recipe was a hit with my family.

My pleasure, Oldbay. :)

Nice to hear that your family liked it!

Which reminds me, I haven't prepared it myself for quite a while. Maybe I will for tomorrow night's dinner.

Oldbay's right about the mustard--I use it on a ton of things besides hotdogs. I have a yummy salad recipe using honey and mustard for dressing, if I could just sift through my recipe database...
