7-Up in a marinade?

I’m an avid soda fan (I know, I know…it’s bad for you. Yada, yada, yada.) So, I’m always intrigued by recipes that have soda as one of the ingredients.

The lemon-lime flavors in 7-Up makes it a natural to use in a marinade. Joined with garlic, onion and soy sauce, it results in a flavorful combination. The grilled pork is so tender, moist and delicious…really fabulous.

“Goldtooth” is new from UK-based singer Leaone.

That slinky beat. That smooth, deep voice that catches every now and then. That flow of the lyrics. That abrupt ending.

Oh, yes.
