Enjoying Fresh Oysters at Oyster Farm in Tomales Bay, Marin Co., CA

My family went to Tomales Bay vicinity in Marin County, CA for on-site oysters eating experience in the summer of 2011.  It was the second time around for me and my son but it was the first experience for my husband.  My son enjoys the on-site oysters eating experience, he was looking forward to going back again.  I think it might be our annual outing for oysters from now on.

Vietnamese Grilled Pork Chop

This recipe came from a Vietnamese cookbook but I do not recall the title or the author now.  I have tried it many times and didn't have to modify it in anyway, it's Asian style BBQ flavor.  You can use any type of pork chops but I prefer the "pork butt" pork chops or sometimes they are called "pork chop steaks" because they are a bit fattier and therefore juicier.  I also tried it broiled instead of grilled but grilling is still the best way to cook it if possible.
