It works best if you pre cook the bacon but last night I bought the boxed partially cooked bacon and just wrap around the middle of each spear but the thicker ones are better. The pork tenderloin I cut in about 1 1/2" pieces and pound to about 3/4" thick lightly with the rubber mallet. Dad doesnt handle a knife too well so this helps a bit.
Tonight a chicken hot dish with biscuits on top. Forgot to buy milk to drink though.

57twin. I love pork tenderloin! But, gee, it is probably the most tender cut of pork there is, I can't imagine pounding it thin (or pre-chewing it, as captain has so picturesquely put it). That must be for some reason other than tenderizing it, right? Then how do you cook it? Saute? Asparagus with bacon sounds awesome. Tonight I roasted our asparagus by tossing it in a mixture of olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic granules, and Parmesan cheese. It was the second time I've done that and so far it is our favorite way to have asparagus. But I'm going to try the bacon. Exactly how do you do that?

Along with the asparagus tonight we had a chicken hot dish with egg noddles and a creamy sauce. Black plums & watermelon as the sides. Comfort food all the way!

ingenuity codger. i once made brownies in the army over an oxygen / acetelyne torch . freakin cooks were too slackjoweled to prepare what was sent to the field for us . the icing was more brownie mix , only not as well baked..better than some of the gruel the cooks slapped together anyway. 57, when i usedta butcher pigs id take a bunch of cutlets and pound flour into them on top of a stump . i used a cheap clawhammer that the claws had broken off of . essentially , youre prechewing the cutlets for lack of a better term . seems to me a mallet would bruise the h*ll out of them.

Marinaded port tenderloin which I cut on pound thin (use a rubber mallet works better than a kitchen one and much cheaper), mashed potatoes and the ever present asparagus (roasted with bacon tonite . Leftover dessert from yesterday to finish.

Gonna make pizza on the grill tonight! YUM. I add garlic and basil to tomato paste and smear a large tablespoon onto a flour tortilla. Add toppings and make on rack on grill - lid closed - for ten-12 min. Keep peeking. You can also raise the pizza pan up on empty veggie cans - ya just need to keep it off the direct heat so it bakes. Works great and tastes so good. I just cannot bring myself to have the AC on and then turn on the oven in the summer :0) OH - if you have kids or grandkids - they LOVE to make these pizzas!! I can fit 2-3 onto a large round pizza pan or oblong baking sheet.

Captain, you don't need Procrit because you eat kidneys. True fact.

Kazza, simmer that chicken with rice and beaten eggs and a handful of corn. Kitty should like it. A few drops of bacon grease or cod liver oil on top will make it very yummy smelling.

Tonight is one of my freezer meal nights - lasagna that I made about a month ago and put in freezer containers. Add a little side salad and we have an easy, no fuss, no muss meal.

Tonight's dinner is chicken breasts marinated in Lime Chipotle. Saute on low heat until done.

Every Friday at work, we have foodie Friday where something is cooked with products from our grocery store. Yesterday was this chicken in the lime chipotle marinade. The employees get to try it and we get a free bottle of the marinade....then we sample it out to customers. This is so good...little prep time involved.

Captain I've left a good portion of the back end to go wild for a future poultry house and run(s) so I'll have to mow less next year. Even then it takes about 3 hours with the tractor. Assand I can't face food for a few hours after I wake up, just coffee - there's no life before coffee!

Dinner last night was chicken, baked potato and corn. I was up at 5 a.m. and spent most of the day mowing and gardening. All that sun, wind and fresh air knocked me out so I skipped dinner (I'll eat it tonight) and went to bed early. I've been living in the country for 18 months and now I know why country folk go to bed early.

Yeh susan here was my day........ got up got mum up made her breakfast got her dressed (or waited two hours for her to get dressed) brought her into town to pay off her loan in full at the Credit Place there was a huge line but mum was insistant that she go to the teller she spoke with last month? I tried to explain that you have to go to the one thats free but she started shouting and demanding she see this particular teller i was just mortified and was close to leaving her there in her madness and go home alone but i couldnt then she proceeded to buy not a plant but a HUGE jungle of a thing that i had to carry around to do the shopping then coffee and moaned that i had a cake (and told me im getting too fat) THEN home SWEET home to non-stop telling me to go and get the neighbours gardener to cut down her tree WHILE im cooking dinner then i went next door to shut her up and he wasnt home so she waited by the window for at least two hours and ordered me again to go and get him then i came in and went on this site to calm down? and shes at me for attention and something else she wants me to do!
A bad day? I think i will demand to see a shrink and beg him to lock me up because i must be "NUTS" to have such patience!
"a day in the life of a carer eh?"
