A personal kitchen diary. I try new recipes and make notes on what works and what doesn't. Sometimes I can things, and sometimes I dry herbs. This is the story of my kitchen.
Alison Roman’s Home Movies make me feel like I can do anything. I saw her episode on grilling a whole fish a year ago, and last Thursday I tried it myself. I realized later I didn’t even do the lemon in the directions she posted. …

Grilled Lemon-Oregano Marinated Porterhouse Pork Chops
1/4 cup neutral vegetable oil (rapeseed or canola are fine)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Generous handful of fresh oregano, crushed lightly
2 Porterhouse Cut, bone in, pork chops (at least 1 1/2 inches thick)

Preheat your grill to high, and grill as if you were grilling steak—approximately 5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the cut. My last chops I did 7 minutes on one side, and 5 minutes on the other.
These were so perfectly seasoned from the marinade that I didn’t even season with salt and pepper again before grilling.
