I decided to venture out of my cooking comfort zone and made a batch of yummy pork tenderloin in redwine vinaigrette with a side of wild rice and mushrooms. Neither recipe was a quick meal, that's for sure; 2 hours to marinade the pork, 1 hour, 15 minutes to bake it. Then there was the prepping of the mushrooms and wild rice which had to be sauteed for 20 min, then that had to be in the oven for an hour and a half (and I could have done with half the bag of rice, not the full, which I think was my only 'mistake' but even that turned out well, so). The payoff was a bevvy of deliciousness. The pork was white all the way through, no pink, but it was so tender it tasted pink--not in the way that cherry cake tastes pink. Nevermind. Ya'll know what I mean.
Ampersand loved her special bites of pork (tried to convince me she was still starving--I told her she can have more tomorrow night, and the night after, and the night after, so there's no need to eat all of her portion nao). She's working out this whole seating-myself-on-the-human's-lap thing, which is an improvement. The non-stop tail thwacking is a bit annoying, especially when I'm trying to sleep. No one has claimed her yet. It has been about a month. Think I'm gonna order her name tags and assume she's here for the durration, for all intents and purposes.
That's a wrap. All's well that tastes delicious.
O, and here are some Amper photos!
