Fixed a couple of family favorites for dinner tonight.

Garlic Herb Crusted Pork Loin
Fresh Green Beans with Onion and Bacon


I started by dry brining the pork loin overnight with a generous application of Kosher salt.
The next day I minced 1/4C garlic, 4T worth each of rosemary, thyme and sage, then I cut five deep lengthwise cuts in the loin and filled them with the garlic/herbs, then trussed it well and finally coated it with more garlic/herbs.
Into a 275° smoker over cherry until the average IT was 140°.













For the bacon I did two 1.5lb weaves and chopped them into nice chunks.
Sauteed 5 small sweet onions in a stick of butter till just starting to soften, then added two pounds of fresh green beans and 2T of chopped garlic.
As I sauteed the veggies I added salt in increments till I was satisfied, normally I would add crushed red pepper too but I was feeding the in-laws and they're soft mouthed.





The Finale

Hey John this was from April.  What have you done for us lately?  You are slowing up.   ::)  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Wow, talk about a time delay...  LOL.
And here I thought y'all were tired of my spamming the food pron.

Tenderloin?  Too rich for my blood.
This is plain'ol inexpensive loin, but still mighty tasty with some love/time put into it.

Sorry Dom, been spending too much on some new firearms and related items.
Nothing really noteworthy in the kitchen but I did do a couple of Tri-Tips and Veggies on the grill last night.
