A couple of days ago I took a pork tenderloin out of the freezer, with the thought that I’d cook it tonight. Well, I wanted to try a new recipe that I found on the allrecipes.com webiste. The recipe is called “Apricot pork tenderloin.” I was SURE that I had all of the ingredients!
So I start rummaging through the cabinets, looking for the listed ingredients….. no thyme, no sherry. I think no problem, I’ll just substitute a few things…. Let’s see substitute some parsley and oregano for the thyme, and apple cider for the sherry.
Well, my sister was helping me out and we accidentally mis-measured a few of the ingredients. By the time we realized the mistake, we couldn’t fix it. So we shrugged and said “oh well, we’ll just go with it, how bad can it be?”
Well, it came out delicious! So moist and tender and perfect. Sis claims it was the best thing she’s tasted in a long time! We served it with rice and green beans. Delicious!
I will be cooking the REAL recipe for my clients next week. I’m sure it’s wonderful too!

I respect your honesty and your opinion. I’m a man. I never read comic books. I don’t know if i could have pointed to Iron Man in a lineup of comic book characters. And i don’t particularly like movies based on comic books. BUT I love Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeff Bridges, so i decided to give the movie a chance.

Very interesting. Can’t say I’ve ever seen a parsley based salad – probably a bit too sophisticated for the likes of this country gal!

I’m really to be finally posting online after all these years. There really is no mystery about it, is there? I just dropped by your blog and had to write something. I’m a recent college grad, journalism major if you must know, and I absolutely love photography. I’ve got my website up but it’s nothing to brag about yet. None of my stuff’s been posted. Soon as I figure out how to do that, I’ll spend the afternoon posting my best shots. anyway just thought I’d drop a line. I hope to return with more substantial stuff, stuff you can actually use. SPG
