Cooking in Someone Else’s Kitchen

Mary pulled out some pork tenderloin and said to me, just put a marinade on this and BBQ it while I am gone. She tried to say this when running out the door. Hold on, I thought. I do not cook pork.

 I wonder why?

Then I remembered that we never had pork growing up. Doral said that pork gave him boils, so ... that was that. I never remember a pork roast. “Oh,” said Mary, “that is why, when I was grown up, I went to someone’s house, they fed me pork chops and I raved over how good the meat was. I had no idea what they were feeding me.

This list may look short to you.
To me, it looks overwhelming.

Mary was on her way out of the house to see if she could complete all of the jobs on her job list for the day.

I made Mary stay behind long enough to find me a recipe and then went to work with the marinade. If you had eaten with us tonight, you might have raved over how good the meat was, as well.

P.S. Here is the secret to our fantastic supper tonight:
