April Fool's Day Dinner?

[cjs]

I wandered thru the archives and found a recipe to try from December 2006, Issue 60, p. 36 - my issue #60 disappeard some time ago, darn. It sounds good and I'll post it just in case someone else does not have it...

2 pork tenderloins, trimmed (1–11⁄2 lb. each)
2 T. Chinese five-spice powder

1 T. ground black pepper
2 T. peanut oil

Simmer:
1/3 cup Chinese plum sauce
2 T. honey
1 T. tomato paste
1 T. soy sauce
1 T. rice vinegar
1 T. fresh ginger, minced
1 T. pineapple juice

Trim tenderloins of silverskin and excess fat. Combine five-spice, salt, and pepper, then rub over both tenderloins. Heat oil in an ovenproof saute pan over medium-high; sear pork on all sides, 5 minutes.

The weather is supposed to be good today, so will adapt to grill this. Gina posted a fried rice recipe the other day on 'that other' forum, so will probably serve with the pork.

What are you all up to?

Raisin bran---I need fiber

All kidding aside---Jean, that recipe is really good---I have made this more than once...and will make it again!

I think we're going Asian too - chicken in lettuce cups, cucumber salad and jasmine rice.

Denise (and other caffeine-o-holics), this link is for you!

Oh those are great! The box is a little small. I usually end up ordering 4 boxes at a time. They, surprisingly, taste pretty good.

Where do you two get these things???? I'd be climbing the walls.

madmax very nicely told me that i've made the pork that we're having many times before...without the magazine to mark the recipe, how is an old person supposed to remember? Maybe eat some of tht spazz stuff
