    Never made a pork loin. Really.

    Andy- I had no idea those tutorial videos existed on youtube. THANK YOU! Discovered why my roux will occasionally go awry, among other things. I know much of this might be basic textbook... except my eyes go blank trying to imagine it all. [I'm still aghast, tho... He took the veggies left...

    Never made a pork loin. Really.

    Oh, dear- :smile: Jeff... Kitchen Elf.... Jeff... Kitchen Elf... We had the rest of it for lunch [me] and dinner [DH]. DH was seriously MOVED by how good it was, and authorized :lol: more of it. [He's a very nice, nice man and I'm just kidding.] Jeff- I'm still working out conceptually...

    Never made a pork loin. Really.

    Well- I did it! Made a pork loin. :ohmy: As I bought it on sale- packaged Swift- I decided to try their directions. 350* for 1 hr. till internal temp hit 160*. :ermm: On a rack inside a shallow roasting pan, rubbed w/ salt/pepper/rosemary. Ok- add in another 15 mins. I know my...

    I'm the worst cook in the world! Hi!!

    Hi, again everyone! I'm finally checking back in, and see all the wonderful, warm welcomes. Thank you. :smile: Have to say I like the slight nuttiness in names and humor I see- it's enjoyable. I'm getting old & now beginning to live through illness/death of family/friends on a far more...

    Pet Rules

    I just finished reading this. 1/2 hr. ago, I placed a plate with bread crumbs on it on the floor at the top of the stairs- to be taken down to the kitchen on the next trip. :blush: Our Spoiled Gatto apparently loves fresh Italian bread. I'll print this out, but somehow doubt that HRH will...

    I'm the worst cook in the world! Hi!!

    Thank you so much for the warm welcome! Fisher's mom- is there a special apron I get to wear? Or, a flashing set of antlers to let people know that danger is present? I've asked a question on a thread and received 2 answers that have already helped me! Is there a way to forbid my entrance...

    Never made a pork loin. Really.

    Thank you, Andy & Jeff! Appears I've hit a 'fav' meal for both of you. :smile: I somehow missed 'roasting' when it was offered in school. :wacko: I am quite adept at using a thermometer, so that's no problem. I've never quite understood the principles behind cooking for a short period of...

    Never made a pork loin. Really.

    I see pork loins in the meat dept. They're labeled 'pork loin', are about 8"- 12" long and maybe 3" in diameter. Some are pre-packaged, some not. I'm too embarrassed to ask anyone I know how to do this from A-Z. As I'm also a LOUSY cook, I need specific instructions. Will someone walk me...

    I'm the worst cook in the world! Hi!!

    Hi, everyone! Another newbie here. I made it to my late 50's without being able to cook more than VERY basic dishes. Not creative, not clever. However- I *love* to eat, read cookbooks and watch cooking shows. :lol: About my name.... How does one eat caviar? [Old joke.] With a spoon, of...
