My wife doesn't like Phish. It's not her fault; it just so happens that there are a lot of good reasons not to like Phish. At 5:40pm PDT or so, it occurred to me I needed to start preparing dinner. Instead of listening to "The Line" or the composed bit of "Vultures" I put together the following brine for some pork chops:

Dissolve 3 T brown sugar and 3 T kosher salt in 2 c. hot water. Add another 1 c. cold water, then 3 T bourbon and 2 T vegetable or canola oil. In quart-size resealable plastic bag, place pork chops with 1 medium yellow onion, sliced, 1 cinnamon stick, 2 bay leaves, 10-15 black peppercorns, 8-10 allspice berries, 5-7 cloves. Pour brine into plastic bag, marinate 3-4 hours.

many thanks for recap which makes all but fire to our bilingual dictionaries, twisty and turny as it is like phishing jams. as unofficial communique, and not strictly as ratified from all unanimous members of phish listening club, euro division, wanted was saying your recipe. seemingly delicious as is, several of us phishing listeners, euro division are thinking: following would take, as we are reading, "three" to "four" hours. plus, one supposed, your brine cooling time: maybe one half hour. plus, getting and putting of, ingredients: a half hour yet. perhaps is optional the cooking due to high brininess, and, we at phish listening club are loving more than a little, good pork chops. do not mistake us. however, we feeling pork chops as it is better to be safe and thus can unanimously state, "we prefer them well-done." therefore, with assumed average marination of 3.5 hours, plus brine cooling of .5 hours, for safety, also previous .5 hours of getting and putting, PLUS, .25 to .5 hours cooking time, depending, is easily 4.875 hours, also stated 4 hours and 52.5 minutes, of preparation, and that's not setting the table yet! therefore, with starting at 5:40 pm, your dinner time will be of about 10:32.5 pm, though, more realistic possible being closer to 10:45 pm or 11:00 pm. is possible, yes, and each unto himself, as we say. however, is wanting, i think, in unofficial capacity with phish listening club, and i have had some positive response here from other listening club members, to say: starting to your dinner earlier! then, happier, more satisfied you will be! so may the phish be with you, in all of your dining, so well-done, timely, peppered and salted as of summer tour in 2014!
