Mix like heck and let chops or boned leg marinade for about 2 hours turning occasionally.  Grill chops over med high coals until medium rare.  Remember when choosing beef it should be dark in color indicating well aged beef, lamb should not be...the redder the better for lamb.....

one of my fav Christmas cookies......my mom's recipe---

Mexican Bride's Cookies

2 cups flour

1/2 cup shifted powdered sugar

2 sticks sweet butter - softened

1 cup finely chopped pecans (use Arizona pecans....they are the best!!!)

1 tsp vanilla extract

Mix flour, sugar and nuts together.  Stir in the vanilla.  Work butter into the mixture until it forms a ball (use a mixer....).

Shape into small balls about 1.5" dia, and place on un-greased cookie sheet (parchment would work well)- bake at 325 till cookies are very delicately brown (about 25-30 minutes).  Remove from cookie sheet, allow to cool slightly and dust liberally with powdered sugar.

Coca Cola Glazed Ham

 

Ingredients:

Fully Cooked Ham (7 to 8 lbs.)
Brown Sugar, about 1 1/2 Cups
Sliced Pineapples (optional)
Coke

Place the ham in a large baking pan, cut side down.  Combine the sugar with enough Coke to create a thick sauce. Mix with a spoon until you get a syrup like consistency. Pour the glaze over the ham. Pour the remaining Coke into the pan. Cover it with foil and bake at 300 degrees for about a couple of hours; until it’s heated through, basting every now and then (I normally pull it out when the internal temperature hits 140 degrees).

 

When done, slice up the ham, spoon sauce from the pan over the meat and enjoy!

You can tweak this fool-proof recipe according to your liking. I’ve added canned sliced pineapples and placed them on top of the ham before pouring the glaze and it turned out pretty good…
