Dec 5 2012 ~ Morning Alarm

Good morning, it's 9:23am and I'm sitting here with a cup of tea in hand (do you have yours)....it's a cold day for us -23c, with clear skies. (still dark)   After dropping off  DS at the bus stop, I was sitting watching the news and DH came into the TV area looking up at the road....Head lights...it was the Police.  Didn't think anything of it, then the neighbors house Alarm starts going off....DH said he thought he had heard it earlier as well.  So we head to the other end of the house to see what's up.  There's no lights on inside, I see the Police man's flash light looking around.  Before I know it's there's 2 police cars.  I send a text to the neighbor to see if she's okay.  The Policemen leave, and I don't hear the alarm again.

DD and I are getting ready to walk to the bus and the neighbor calls to say she's okay, she's at work, I guess something fell in her garage and the policeman said her garage door wasn't locked enough.  It's all good, so now we are running behind, so we head across the lake for the bus, making it in time....=)  it's so cold as well...I had a scarf around my mouth...not a good thing, because it seems to make you colder....you breath out and then it freezes.

I took out more butter (my last cup)...I'm thinking about making Chocolate chip cookies, feel like having some.  Yesterday I made Crinkle cookies, and they turned out like before....hard as rocks...they are good dipped in tea, but really crunchy otherwise.

I need to do laundry and clean upstairs, down stairs is getting there...still have to do more, but it's getting there.

Last night I made Pork Tenderloin I got at the Commissary for $6 (2lbs) and it was soooo good, I used this recipe.

Marinated Grilled Pork Tenderloin

Recipe courtesy Charlie Palmer, Charlie Palmer's Casual Cooking, William Morrow, 2001

Prep Time:20 min

Inactive Prep Time:2 min

Cook Time:30 min

Level:Easy

Serves:6 servings

Ingredients

• 3 (3/4 to 1 pound) pork tenderloins
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup dry sherry (didn't add)
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
• 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary (added dry)
• 1 tablespoon minced shallots (didn't add)
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger (added dry)

Directions

Trim the tenderloins of all fat and silver skin. Place them in a shallow baking dish large enough to hold them without crowding.

Combine the soy sauce, sherry, honey, vinegar, oil, and orange juice in a medium bowl, whisking until well blended. Stir in the rosemary, shallots, and ginger. Pour the mixture over the tenderloins. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to marinate at room temperature for 2 hours.
Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan.
Remove the pork from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Place the tenderloins on the grill and cook, turning frequently, for about 18 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 155 degrees F. Transfer to a platter and allow the meat to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Meanwhile, place the marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Slice the pork into 1/4 inch-thick slices, spoon the hot marinade over the pork. Serve with a tossed salad.

 Recipe Note:
But Carlisle pan seared it with oil and garlic and then cooked in the oven at 350
