      Marinated pork tenderloin in brown sugar, bourbon, and Dijon mustard. Will serve with baked potato, corn, Washington Boro tomatoes and local peaches. I think I'm hungry.

          I froze leftover pork meat from some baby back ribs that I had cooked in the crockpot. (my husband loves the meat falling off the bones). So I defrosted the pork, added bbq sauce and made pulled pork sandwiches. Because I had some meat leftover I heated it up and served it over rice the next night. I was so proud of myself.!!

            We had salad too! I was going for a Vietnamese salad but discovered I didn't have fish sauce (must have tossed it). After substituting mushroom soy sauce and tasting the dressing I threw it down the sink and substituted bottled french dressing. With the greens I did include shaved carrots, radishes and sweet onions marinated in rice vinegar , cold ramen noodles, basil, cilantro, mint and cheddar sesame sticks. My husband gave it a thumbs up!

              Sometimes someone comes up with a gadget you can't live without. Personally I feel that to be my oxo salad spinner,

                I made Shallot , Parmesan and Thyme puff pastry swirls for our community Happy Hour.
                They disappeared quickly so I guess people liked them. I found the recipe on Tea Time magazine"s web site. Also I was grateful that my food processor was working.

                  Tonight will be pasta with shrimp and roasted tomatoes. Went out to a Lancaster brewery for Father's Day!

                    We had chicken with leftover romanesco sauce. I wish I could remember where I found the recipe for the sauce because it reheated very well after being frozen.
                    Because we have a bocce match this afternoon I need something I can prepare ahead. I am thinking of making coronation chicken salad sandwiches. There are several different recipes for this originally British recipe. Currently we do not have coronations in the US but in the future who knows??

                      I baked Joy's Brown Butter Cookies with Pecans from KA's site. Thank goodness I have a scale because the brown sugar weight listed was way more accurate than my cup measurement. The cookies were a hit at the Memorial Day party! The video was very helpful in getting the butter just right. OK lots of butter and sugar would not be my normal choice but once in a while you have to splurge.

                        I take it you don't have a cat! Your deck should be referred to as "Foxhaven"!

                          Those chopped salads in the supermarket make a great base on which to create a meal. I add a protein like chicken or steak, noodles and add -ins not included with packaged salad. Yum!

                            I purchased a 4 pizza kit from BJ's. The directions called for baking the pizza directly on the oven rack. I decided to use my pizza stone and let it heat up for quite a while. The crust tasted like chewy cardboard. Today I reheated the leftover pizza directly on the rack and the crust was much better.

                              We had Hellman's chicken recipe which I marinated in Italian dressing. I topped it with mango peach salsa which really went well with it. I also found that you can reheat chicken in an 190 degree oven for 15 minutes or so and it does not dry out.

                                I made Milk Street's almond cake for Wine Club! I shared a piece with my neighbor who absolutely loved it. She asked for the recipe and when I told her it called for almond flour and 3 eggs, 3 egg whites and a scale she no longer seemed interested.

                                  Thanks BA for that heartfelt story. It is definitely inspiring. Hope NPR can continue to thrive!
