D suggested making the leftover pork tenderloin into a pasta. I was doubtful, but he was right. I cut up the remaining 3 inches or so of meat into lengthwise quarters, then sliced about 1/8 inch thick. It looked like … Continue reading

Well, we planned three meals today but should have planned only two. Given we had breakfast at about 10:30 and lunch at 3, we had a hard time getting hungry for dinner. And of course there were the Christmas Cookies … Continue reading

Smoked pork loin; rice; artichoke – 29 September 2011
D is doing a great job of using up the bounty of leftovers from M&N. He cooked slices of smoked pork loin from the Bowl (delicious, and less that $6/lb) in butter or oil (it’s the 1st and he doesn’t … Continue reading

Leftover braised pork and vegetables; sauteed collards – 26 July 2011
This was a really tasty dinner! We had planned out when to use the braised pork leftovers, and conveniently were given some very beautiful collards last night at the Berkeley crop-swap that went perfectly with the pork. Pork, potatoes, carrots, … Continue reading

Braised pork shoulder; potatoes; applesauce; salad – 24 July 2011
Two streams converged to produce this dinner. One, our massive oversupply of culled immature apples from our tree led D to make a massive vat of applesauce, and he suggested maybe we should have pork chops for dinner, since I … Continue reading

Pork loin, Brussels sprouts, and olives as a pasta sauce – 3 July 2011
D took the last Costco boneless pork loin chop out of the freezer and got creative. He cut the pork into small (3/4″?) chunks, and cooked it in oil with sage, and added pre-boiled Brussels sprouts and halved Gaeta olives. … Continue reading

Pork satay with peanut sauce; Thai jasmine rice; cucumber relish; broccolini – 1 July 2011
We were sorting out when to make bread and who was cooking when, when I realized why I had been thinking, last week, about making this pork satay – another from the May edition of Saveur. It uses up the … Continue reading

Dinner for nine: Braised pork with mushrooms; mashed potatoes; sugar snap peas with mint; Peach and raspberry pie; nectarine sorbet with blueberries – 4 June 2011
This was a remarkable meal, cooked principally by the two under-40s (one under-30) with the over-50s (mostly over-60s) providing cooking support, table setting, and assorted wine-drinking assistance. M&N’s daughter S proposed a braised pork recipe for our planned dinner together, … Continue reading

Grilled, brined pork chops, broccolini, and farro risotto – 30 May 2011
Our houseguests M&N pretty much cooked this meal (except for R’s dessert), and we learned some neat new stuff. We took out some frozen Costco pork chops, which are boneless and very thick, and brined them overnight in the fridge. … Continue reading
