well, while I am at Aldi, maybe I will pick up a container of frosting and some chips to impress DS tomorrow.

he knows I don't bake or make stuff like that...I am more of a cook...and Italian is my usual style. So, I am even stepping out with the pork tenderloin that I am making for him tomorrow... (never cooked one before, but, the instructions are fairly simple, so, how hard can it be?)

I've said that before. Do yourself a HUGE favor and retract it while the retracting's still good.

At that point I would rather deal with the symptons than the cure.
Sounds awful!

If the pork isn't the marinated kind, here's a quick, easy tip. Just pour some Worchestershire sauce over it, brown & then bake. You can pour a little more of the sauce over it before putting it in the oven, if you want.

Thanks. It is already pre-marinated, (bought it at Sam's) with apple & bacon. So, it says all you have to do is bake it. so, we'll see....

maybe I'll buy a bottle of Worchestershire sauce just in case...

hmmm. the final project looks good, Brian. maybe the reason the chips didn't melt was because they are really peanuts??? (see the bag...made from "real peanuts")

Growing up in Michigan, there were 4 basic seasonings, salt, pepper, ketchup, & Worchestershire sauce. Worchestershire sauce was always the default seasoning for pork & beef roasts.

My dad had a thing against Worcestershire sauce, so, that was not allowed in the house. My mother really did not cook much, and definitely not a pork roast or pork tenderloin. (she had ulcers) So, I have been learning by trial-and-error!

I chose the pork tenderloin because it is a stab at the Norwegian traditional Christmas dinner...they usually have a pork rib thing and boiled potatoes. SO, I modified it to be a pork tenderloin and roast potatoes.

Maybe I'll take photos like Brian and show everyone how it comes out!
