Picked up a few new cookbooks at the Friends of the Library book sale so last night thought I'd make a nice dinner. Wishing I had a wife, girlfriend, or roommate with whom to share this work of culinary art. Butternut Squash Soup with Pumpkin Seed Pesto and Tuscan Pork Loin Roast.
Blah! Butternut Soup is not nearly as sweet as most squash soups I've had plus I think maybe I put too much cumin in when I scaled down the recipe. Really not very good.
Oh well, there's still the pork loin for the main course. Rats. Overcooked. I was aiming for an internal temperature of 155º but missed as I overestimated the time it would take before I checked the temp. Contrary to popular opinion, if you cook pork until all the red is gone, it is drier than dust.
Thankfully, there was no one to share it with.
