We played hooky.
No Monday house-update photos.
We’re too embarrassed at the lack of accomplishment last week.
If I posted photos our shame would be broadcast for all to see.
Instead I’ll show you Avignon.
If anyone ever tells you that Avignon is windy….. Believe them.
I’m told it’s a welcome relief in the heat of summer…
But not the chill of winter.
Even with sunshine.
It’s a gorgeous city, lots to see and very walkable. The Christmas market was wonderful, not large, but full of local artisans.
On the way home we took a wee detour to see the Viaduc de Millau.
Most impressive.
We drove over it twice.
Maybe not as impressive, but after all that travel, there is nothing like tucking into a steaming platter of pork and cabbage.
The recipe, Pork Tenderloin with Sweet & Sour Cabbage, has been updated, nutrition information added, and re-posted here: Pork Tenderloin with Sweet & Sour Cabbage.
That should give us strength to get back to work!

It was very cold last week around here, Avignon is only about 35 minutes from my place. If you come back in the summer, I’ll meet you for lunch 🙂
Your pork and cabbage looks very warming!
This doesn’t sound long enough cooking time for pork – but the combination sounds wonderful!
Avignon is wonderful! We loved it, even the kids didn’t get tired of strolling the city. Of course it was summer. And theater festival. But still.
Sounds so good. I know I would enjoy eating this with you. Susan
Ooh, we’re big pork tenderloin fans and I’ll have to try this! I don’t usually buy cabbage but this looks great!
I hope all is going smoothly with the house. I love the photos you post. It’s so fun to get little glimpses of life from across the globe.
Now you have renewed spirit to go at it again.
Avignon is windy yes.
Poppy Fields… summer would be better. It WAS cold on Friday!
AoSC, it is, if you brown it first and tenderloin stays, well, tender….
Baking Soda, I’m told that in summer the wind is welcome…
Susan, and I would enjoy having you for dinner ;-))
Joelen, the problem with cabbage is the commitment… We love pork tenderloin, too.
Lynn, I;m not sure smoothly is exactly the right word….
Tanna, windy… as in blowing down the Christmas trees…
We talked about going to Millau, but first we had to tackle the big bridge near Cahors. One day the Garmin led us over it. All of a sudden, my husband, his hands tightly on the wheel, his eyes straight ahead, hissed, “We’re on the bridge.”
We’ve driven under it dozens of times. We’ve taken pictures of it. Suddenly we were on it so fast neither of us got scared.
