Maple and Garlic Pork



I don't have enough superlatives to adequately describe how good this was. As per the recipe, I put the leftover marinade in a saucepan to heat it so I could serve it over the pork. At the advice of one of the comments on the site I found this recipe, I also used a cornstarch slurry to thicken it up to more of a gravy consistency. YUM. Only regret is that I didn't make more. Served with boiled red potatoes and asparagus (what I had on hand). Recipe is here. Make this. You won't regret it.

Pancetta Bacon Pasta (sans pancetta)



This recipe was made in an attempt to get rid of some of the food in my fridge. I found the recipe on the internet, but made a few liberal substitutions....bacon instead of pancetta, evaporated milk instead of heavy cream. It kind of turned out weird, but I guess it was alright. Served with garlic bread (that was, of course, delicious.)
