See, here’s the thing about being friends with foodies.
As of 2 in the afternoon on Sunday, I had no solid plans for dinner. I had thought about going over the hill to Santa Cruz for some seafood, but nothing quite specific. Then I chatted with Melody up in Portland, and found out Dan is having a bunch of people over, grilling pork tenderloin and generally making a big production of things. At which point the guilt kicked in.
So, one quick trip to the market, and a flurry of activity in the kitchen. For dinner this evening, I’ve made carolina pork tenderloin, sweet and sour cole slaw, garlic and rosemary roasted potatoes, salad. Add some sourdough bread and wine, and I don’t think we’ll starve.
You really shoulda tried the pork with mint sauce.
