How do you make your marinades?

Or if you don't make them, which have you bought and loved?  I'm bored with my standard one.

Depending on the dish/meat, i'll use any combination of EVOO, worcestershire, vinegar (balsamic, red wine, rice), fish/oyster sauce, soy sauce, garlic, onion, wine, orange juice, brown sugar, and normal spices. 

I don't have any standard marinade, i just throw together what i have and what compliments each other.... 

Otherwise, i LOVE Drew's dressing for marinades.  Depending on the store, It can be found in the dressing isle or the health section.

For grilling chicken or steak....equal parts dry sherry and soy sauce.  2 tsp. powdered ginger, 1/4 cup evoo, and several minced garlic cloves.

It's so delish.

I love to use salad dressings as marinades. My favorite is the Ken's Basil Vinaigrette. Last year I used this Price Chopper brand one that was an Asian Ginger dressing, and I marinated everything with that. I no longer live near a Price Chopper, but I've recreated it with Rice Wine Vinegar, Orange juice, minced ginger, soy, and some sugar.

For store-bought, we actually just had a really tasty one from Target (their brand, I think).  It was Spicy Chile Pineapple, and it was delish on our center-cut pork chops, but I think it would be good on chicken, too.

Steffie, I was just about to type that! Steak and chicken that's great.
