This post is out of order, it tells the story of shopping I did before the Pork Tenderloin with Burghul meal.

If it looks like I’m eating a lot of pork lately, it’s because it’s cheap.
I bought a great big package of pork loin chops for around 5 bucks and got around 8-9 big chops. Mangos are also cheap at the moment, being in season, and I had a few ancho peppers left over from the […]

Paul, over at playing with my food comments about Deb’s fine photography. Deb’s planning to shoot every new dish she creates, which I admit is an endeavour for me. After cooking I want to eat, and setting up the food and shooting sometimes is an excercise in restraint.
Not all food turns out looking good enough […]
