Alan's Kitchen Picnicking & Tailgating Tips:
Begin the marinade process the night before.  Just before leaving the house, remove pork chops from bowl and place chops in a large self-sealing plastic bag.  Put the chops in the ice chest.  When you are at either the picnic or the tailgate site, prepare your grill.  Then pop on the pork chops and grill.
