One of my all time favorites..........it's in the top FIVE!
Don't laugh.................
TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE!! I know, most of you will say YUCK, but I love this stuff and I will probably eat too much
I bake it with lots of cheese and crumbled cheap potato chips (the kind with lots of salt and grease) all over the top...........OH MAN! I just made my tummy gurgle in anticipation

Tonite we are having roast pork loin. This pork loin was marinated in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, fresh chopped garlic, red wine, some of the left over coffee from this morning, brown sugar, fresh ground pepper, and a chopped mix of Rosemary, Italian Parsley and Thyme from my herb garden. I heated the marinade. Then I cut the nearly 5 lb pork loin in half, and let it bathe in this delightful liquid for several hours.
It will roast in the oven for about 1.5 hours, in a shallow roasting pan, on a rack, with the marinade under it reducing and gathering the juices from the pork. It starts at 400, reducing to 375 immediately.
Simmering on the stovetop are my favorite cooked carrots. I peel and slice about 2.5 lbs of fresh carrots. They go into boiling water which is heavily salted, and into which you have added a small (inch square or less)piece of seasoning meat. This can be side meat, fat back, bacon, or ham. You can also substitute canned chicken broth, however, be warned it is not the same. The preferable meat seasoning is probably bacon, but either way is good. The only other additive is a gentle shake of cinnamon. You want just a hint. This should be cooked until all of the liquid is gone. Be careful observing at the end, you don't want it to scorch, but you want ALL the cooking liquid gone.
and along with that we are having fresh asparagus. It is waiting in an ice water bath, to be cooked rapidly at very high heat in browned butter, olive oil, until it is just bright green, and then quickly tossed with fresh chopped garlic, salt, and fresh ground pepper and removed to a serving dish so it stays crisp and nutty in flavor.
I might make a banana cake later, I haven't fully decided.

Darn! May I pull up an added chair? The carrot and cinnamon sounds fascinating. Will have to remember that one.
I had a dog show corn dog...and don't want to talk about it.

I'm sorry...........something about eating a CORN DOG at a DOG SHOW went and struck my ridiculously sensitive funny bone again!
I'm sorry it wasn't good though

Justin's making a pork loin roast I'm so glad, because I've been craving it with you guys talking about it so much. He threw it in the crock pot with some cranberry juice, onions, mushrooms, potatoes, and whatever spices (I didn't watch him make it, it was already cooking when I woke up -what a man! ) Smells good though.
