A WORD FROM THE KITCHEN

When it comes to marinating...I say go for it! I'm partial to
marinating before grilling meats for 2 reasons. First, for the
tenderizing job it does on meat and secondly because the flavor
and juiciness is ABSORBED throughout the meat instead of just
getting brushed on the top. Here's a great sample recipe of
GRILLED BONELESS PORK CHOPS that keeps.

MARINATING TIPS:

Always marinate your food in the refrigerator and for a 
minimum of 30 minutes. A great no-mess way to marinade is
to use a sealed, plastic, food-safe storage bag so it can
be flipped over a couple of times for a more even marinating.
For safety purposed do not reuse marinade that has been in
contact with raw meat, poultry or fish. Instead, reserve
some marinade on the side for basting and dipping or just
make a separate batch.
