Pork Chops and Pork Loin (Mickey Insperation)

After seeing Mickey's post on the best thick pork chops, I had to do my first ever brine. I loved it! I did 4 pork chops and 1/3 of a pork loin cut into steaks. Add some mashed taters and corn and I'm fat and happy :D

Here's the pork after the brine using 1/2 cup sea salt, 1/4 cup dark brown sugar and 2 cups water. Patted dry and dusted with Dizzy's Red Eye. Pulled each one off when they hit 140°. A few mashed taters/ corn and plated (I need to get some lessons from VI on how to plate).

    Living in the frigid north, we get maybe 6 months to enjoy an outside cooking area. I would love to make something more permanent but the cost vs time enjoying it doesn't add up for me.

    What is all the green stuff? Oh, that is what is called trees.

    Whoa!  That is almost exactly what I want!  I want a sink in a table instead of a permanent island.  Already have a water line on my patio. Planning  on a bucket under the drain (need it mainly for hand washing).  Was looking for a steel table with sink but haven't  been able to find one yet. 

    Do the bins stay water tight and keep the contents dry? 

    That's  a beautiful spot you have there.
