I was a bit of an unbeliever myself when Jake pulled up the recipe on his phone while walking through the grocery store and said "this sounds good!" A pork marinade which included a single shot of espresso. I questioned the logic of my sweet boyfriend, but decided to keep my mouth shut! And boy am I glad I did!!
The next morning, Jake awoke at 6:00 AM in pursuit of a single shot of espresso. Although the Starbucks barista hesitated about his decision, he made the purchase and headed home to mix up his marinade.
Later that night after babysitting 6 kids, 5 of which were under the age of two, I was pleasantly greeted with the aroma of pork chops grilling in the backyard. I walked through the house to the backyard to find dinner was ready!
As if the sweet smell wasn't enough, the taste was even better! Jake had prepared a meal that could have been served in a 5 star restaurant! The slight hint of espresso could be tasted in each bite, and it was just right!
Bon Appetit!
