     I have been asked to post some of the recipes from my cooking shows. Here is the first one...try it and enjoy!
       Marinated Roast Pork Tenderloin
1 whole or half boneless pork tenderloin
1 bottle of balsamic vinagrette with basil
2 tablespoons of olive oil
salt and pepper
     In a non reactive glass bowl or a gallon size ziplock bag place tenderloin and enough salad dressing to cover meat. Refrigerate for at least 4 to 8 hours.
     Remove tenderloin and reserve marinade. Salt and pepper tenderloin on all sides. In a hot pan sear the tenderloin in the olive oil until brown on all sides. Place in shallow roasting pan and roast in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 40 to 50 minutes. Remove to cutting board and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes...slice medallions to desired thickness.
     Take reserved marinade and bring to a boil over medium heat and let reduce by a third...drizzle over medallions when ready to serve.
    Hope you enjoy this as it is a simple fix and delicious.   Kewl Beans y'all!!

Living with Nature??
2:03PM on October 22, 2011

     I am seeing so many tracks of so many different species on my land in New Hampshire it is mind boggling! I have identified so far coyote, fox, moose, deer, two striped skunk, bobcat and porcupine. I had no idea this many critters would be sharing my place.
     I will share my land with these creatures in as a harmonious way as posssible as there is enough land and food to sustain all of us... I see no problems in the future....except I haven't seen the track of ole Mr. Black Bear....I am sure he is there somewhere...lurking and watching...as he is as curious of me as I am of him.
     Hunting is open around where I live now but I only see that as a tool to keep them from owning the houses on my road lol! I am ready to become their friend in the woods...so long as we don't have any unpleasant meetings.
     I am hoping to soon put out some night vision cams so we can see who visits during the dark hours and what they may do...Kewl Beans y'all!!

Who is the Sexiest Woman In the U.S.A.?
6:33PM on October 17, 2011

     Bluefield, WV,  Two young men are boarding a train to the city of Richmond, VA. One a husky Irish lad who has never been off the mountain and an Italian immigrant man in his thirties. As fate would have it they were sitting beside one another.As the train started the Italian man unfolded his newspaper he had bought before boarding. As it unfolds he lets out a tremendous sigh obviously seeing that days headlines.
     " Mama mia! Hey my friend, answer me this a question, capiche? The Irish lad replied " Sure will mister!"
     "Who do you think is the sexiest woman in the U.S.A.?"
"Gawrsh mister, I guess I would have to say Marilyn Monroe.
     The Italian scoffed and said "I think it is this woman in the headlines....this woman named Virginia PiPillini!!!"  
      He handed the lad the paper and the headlines read:

                          200 Men Lay Virginia Pipeline in 7 Days!
