I made broiled pork tenderloin using two different seasonings I got from Marlboro.

There's no picture but this stuff is awesome! The other seasoning is Weber's Kick'n Chicken but I liked the Korean spice much better.

I cut the tenderloin in half, coated each one with olive oil and seasonings .. put 'em in the fridge for a few hours, then rolled them in brown sugar and broiled them to perfection. Then I finished it off with my watermelon e-cig.

 

I have an e-cig that charges from The USB on my computer.In fact I have two so I always have one handy if one runs out of power.By the way Gina - how do you embed links like that,So that what you typed "watermelon e-cig" for example,goes directly to a link.I have a Mac by the way.

 

I highlight the words I want to attach a link to, then select the blue insert link icon, paste the webpage and POOF .. magic happens! Today I'm having V2 peppermint. Can't wait to try the dragonberry!

 

The juice flavour for my e-cig is "American classic tobacco"...I'm something of a traditionalist ya' know...

 

Good stuff

 

"... all smooshed together and crammed into the peppers" haha! I think you should have your own cooking show! They sound delicious. It's been a long while since I've had stuffed peppers.

Yesterday I had a fantastic vegetable omelette. Why is it men make such good omelettes? Or maybe it's just that I'm terrible at making them so I wait until someone makes one for me. Seems none of my female friends make them either.


I tried another avocado recipe, a nice refreshing salad. I like the varying textures and flavours in this... smooth, crunchy, tangy and sweet.

I didn't have pea shoots so I used sunflower seed sprouts which I found went well, though I'm partial to sunflower seeds.





Avocado and Grapefruit Salad

1 pink grapefruit
1 avocado, sliced
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp maple syrup
Freshly ground white pepper
Sea salt
1 fennel bulb, thinly sliced
2 cups pea shoots

Segment the grapefruit over a bowl to catch any juices and squeeze excess juice from the membranes.

Use 1/4 cup of this juice for the dressing, whisking it with the olive oil, sesame oil, maple syrup, a pinch of white pepper (about 2 ground peppercorns or 1/16 teaspoon), and a pinch of sea salt. Taste and adjust seasonings, if desired.
Gently toss the fennel and pea shoots in half of the dressing. Arrange on two plates, top with the grapefruit and avocado, and drizzle the remaining dressing over the fruit.

Dust with pink Himalayan sea salt to give the salad a pink hue and compliment the pink grapefruit.

Looks great. Did you make the sauce from scratch? How?

 

It was really delish. The sauce is 1 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tbs lime juice, 1 Tbs chili powder.
