Roasted pork with fennel

Posted by Kate on Nov 13, 2011 in Food & Drink | 0 comments

A few weeks back, we had purchased a prepared pork tenderloin that had a garlic and herb rub, and it turned out great. But, for the upcharge of being prepared for us, it really wasn’t worth the extra money — plus, we don’t know what exactly it is they used. So we poked around the interwebs, for something similar, and ended up settling on trying out a garlicky pork roast from her Better Homes & Garden book. It turned out great!

Roasted duck & pork stir fry

Posted by Kate on Nov 3, 2009 in Food & Drink | 0 comments

Last weekend, I went to Chinatown with my parents. While there, I did some pantry shopping (mmmm chile-garlic sauce!), ate lots and lots and lots of dim sum, and stopped by my favorite little barbecue joint and picked up some roasted duck and pork (both split with my parents). Today, I threw together a quick stir fry — 1.5c (uncooked) brown rice, 1 head of bok choy, your typical aromatics (celery/carrot/onion), the meats, and a little stir fry sauce (2Tbs soy sauce, 2 tsp chile garlic sauce, 1 Tbs sherry or rice wine, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1/2 tsp hoisin, 3 cloves garlic, 1 tsp ginger paste). It was fairly good for something I literally threw together, and I’m definitely looking forward to tomorrow’s lunch (leftovers!), but I think next time, I may add some chiles…

Here are some photos of my trip!

Pecan-crusted pork chops with ancho-honey glaze and chunky applesauce

Posted by Kate on Nov 22, 2005 in Food & Drink | 0 comments

Tonight is my turn to cook today. So, dinner tonight will consist of:

• pecan crusted pork loin with an ancho-honey glaze
• said ancho-honey glaze thickened up into a lovely bbq sauce
• sour cream n chive mashed potatoes (of the homemade variety, not the boxed)
• homemade applesauce
• corn (of the canned variety, can liquids replaced with water)
• pumpkin bread (of the boxed variety)

There was no dessert tonight, though I think I’d serve something homey but slightly twisted like the double crisp cherry crisp from last week if I were to make a dessert.
