Mediterranean Spice-Rubbed Grilled Pork Chops

Jay was here for dinner tonight. I was looking for something to do on the grill since it's been kind of warm out, and I wanted something quick too since time was so short this weekend. The whole dinner was really good. Larry and Jay really liked the salad and the salsa a lot. I've been wanting to make this wheatberry salad for a very long time, so I was happy to see the recipe re-printed in Fine Cooking #79 - it got me thinking about the salad again. I love grains, especially grain salads. I liked everything (except the asparagus, of course).
