Molasses Barbecued Pork Tenderloin, a new book and a new lake

I’ve been busy.

Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the warm, sunny days and cool, crisp nights.

Spring and the start of summer cooking on the grill is always wonderful, but by fall I’m looking forward to the return to kitchen and slow food.

And using all of the delicious vegetables of fall.

I decided to share my favorite recipes..

‘Fall Vegetables’ is available on Amazon for Kindle, as well as all the other ebook formats. It will be available as an actual paper book as soon as I get to the US and look at the proof…. another week.

In the meantime we’re still doing some summer cooking

The recipe, Molasses Barbecued Pork Tenderloin, has been updated, nutrition information added, and re-posted here: Barbecued Pork Tenderloin.

The other night, just before dark, we heard a terrible clatter. It sounded like an army of tanks coming down our lane.

The dogs got very excited.

We got very curious.

We all went to the gate to see what was the matter.

It was our farmer driving a backhoe. We decided it was his backhoe, since the key was on his key ring along with his car keys and house keys.

Anyway, after he parked his backhoe by my potager, he came over to chat.

He’s going to build a pond.

Speaking French to a local farmer is a bit more challenging than speaking French to our teacher. We understood most of what he was telling us, but really weren’t prepared to discuss irrigation techniques and other agricultural problems.

So all we know, or think we know, is that he’s building a pond.

The next morning, just as the sun came up, (he had said he was going to start early) he started digging.

An hour later there was a big hole, two tractors hauling dirt away and a surveyor.

Things are looking interesting.

My neighbor is hoping for a spa….
