    Pork Skewers with Pineapple-Scallion Rice-
    4 Servings | Prep 20 min (plus marinating) | Cook 20 min
    Ingredients
    One 20-ounce can of pineapple chunks in their juice, drained and juice reserved
    1 clove garlic, smashed
    2 tablespoons soy sauce
    2 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger
    2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    Salt and pepper
    1 1/4 pounds pork loin, cut into 1-inch cubes
    4 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
    1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice

    Directions:
    1. In a resealable plastic bag, combine the pineapple juice, garlic, soy sauce, ginger and oil; season with salt and pepper. Add the pork and scallions and let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.

    2. Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 3/4 cups salted water to a boil. Add the rice, cover and cook over low heat for 18 minutes.

    3. Meanwhile, thread the marinated pork and two-thirds of the pineapple chunks onto four 10-inch skewers and the marinated scallions onto one 10-inch skewer. Grill the kebabs, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.

    4. Coarsely chop the remaining pineapple chunks and stir into the cooked rice. Remove the grilled scallions from the skewer and stir into the rice. Serve the pork kebabs with the pineapple-scallion rice.

      Childhood Favorites from the Shine Supper Club

      My after-school snack was a sacred ritual. I sat on the carpet in my parents' bedroom at a low table, the television turned to "I Dream of Jeannie," and ate a peanut butter and honey sandwich cut into neat squares. I wasn't fussy about crusts. I just loved the sticky pairing of creamy peanut butter with syrupy golden sweetness drizzled from a honey bear in diagonals across the soft white bread. Nothing else--save for maybe apples and peanut butter in a pinch--could have made for as sweet an
