It's almost 3 am EST and I've just finished up more organizing the house, cooking pork tenderloin for 40 people, and making sure all is ready for the big bash just 14.5 hour s from now. Seriously though, I promise to write more later. But first I wanted to share this great recipe from Ladies Home Journal, 1995....
Instructions
1. Heat oven to 475F. Mash garlic with 1/4 teaspoon salt, the pepper and
ginger to form a paste. Place pork in jelly-roll pan or large roasting
pan; rub all over with garlic mixture.
2. Toss sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil and 3/4 teaspoon more salt in
large bowl. Arrange potatoes in jelly-roll pan with pork.
3. Combine brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce and remaining 1 tablespoon oil
in small saucepan; brush some of the mixture over prok tenderloin. Roast
pork and potatoes 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile bring remaining soy-sauce mixture to boil over high heat.
Boil until sauce is thickened, 5 minutes; emove from heat. 5. Brush half
the sauce over pork and turn sweet potatoes. Roast 5 minutes more until
sweet potatoes are tender and meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of
pork registers 155F.
6. Cut pork into 3/4" thick slices. Arrange on platter with sweet
potatoes. Pour any pan drippings and remaining sauce over pork. Sprinkle
sweet potatoes with parsley.

It's that smple, really. And oh so delicious. Now we didn't do the potatoes because we are catering (really this our first party in like ten years) the side dishes, including the potatoes from Whole Foods. Now if you never been to one, it's like the best grocery store outside of NYC that I've been too. (This is my favorite grocery store in the world) Very fresh items from the veggies to the fish and lots of healthy stuff too. There big on natural and organic foods. So, for the most part, even the meat is the healthiest you can get. okay, loosing my typing abilities, I think my fingers are leading the rest of me to sleep. Later.
hey -- you've got a lot going on this weekend! is this a anniversary/birthday party? you've got a lot to celebrate and a wonderful spring day to do it on -- so have a blast and rejoice! glad you are able to express the hard things you are dealing with too...whatever words for you, it is good to share and just get it out however it comes.
Have sooooo much fun tonight!
