Chipotle-Honey Pork Chops

I was a latecomer to the canned chipotle peppers in adobo party.  Up until a few weeks ago, I had never used them before.  I made these recently but it was with the leftovers from this dish that I'm blogging about today.  And now, I'll never turn back.

I was waiting for Frank's reaction after taking his first bite, since he isn't a fan of much heat.  He did pause for a second, but ended up surviving.  And really liking it.

And yeah, those are grits.  Straight from Tennessee!  Recipe to come tomorrow.
