My friend's hubby is from the region in France where they make Calvados and they brought me a bottle from one of their trips.

One time I stuffed the tenderloin with Stove Top Stuffing that I mixed some cranberry sauce into as I had some left over in the fridge from Thanksgiving. I saved half of the cranberry sauce. After the tenderloin was finished baking, I deglazed the pan with just water, got all the lovely brown bits and transferred the juice to a small pot. I added the rest of the cranberry sauce and thickened it with corn starch and poured it over the sliced tenderloin. It was awesome.
That stuffed tenderloin sounds great, and reminds me of a stuffed tenderloin that my Dad used to do, that has cranberry, orange, apple, celery (and I don't remember what else off the top of my head). I've done it a few times, but not in the last little while -- totally awesome, and great done ahead and served at room temperature -- super for a nice dinner in the summer, with potato salad.

Last night we joined a small group we sing with occasionally for a little eating, drinking and merry-making, so we had party food for dinner.

Tonight the ends of the tenderloin will find themselves in [?????] along with [?????] and possibly some [?????] -- [?????]s to be resolved when I look in the fridge.

Seared Tuna marinated in a honey-lime dressing. (I eat a lot of tuna! YUM!) with spinach and roasted potatoes! (Just wish I had some fresh rosemary for the taters)

Chicken pot pie is always a winner with me. It's one of my favorite meals.

I think it will be pizza tonight. I have a mountain of homework to do and don't feel like making anything.

I'm working 5-9pm tonight but I thought I might make some baked potato's with bits of bacon and fresh tomato and a dollop of sour cream. No cheese because I forgot to buy any at the supermarket.

Tonight it's sausages, panfries and a spinach salad. Pleasant midweek fare, but nothing special.

Pot roast with carrots, potatoes and onions, been cooking for 2 hours now, the house smells divine!

Pudding and fresh whipped cream for dessert.

Pot Roast is one of my favourite meals and not all pot roasts are equal. The little grocery in the small town where I live has the best meat. I tried a pot roast from the larger grocery and it wasn't nearly as tender. The stewing beef at our local little store is fantastic as well. I'm fussy and cut off all gristle and stuff but with our little local store I don't need to cut off a thing.

What kind of pudding?

Chicken dinner!

There is a patient on our ward who is palliative. She doesn't eat much, if anything at all. Yesterday she was craving chicken dinner and apple pie. We managed to get the apple pie from the hospital cafeteria, but they don't have "chicken dinners".

I went to Safeway today and bought a roast chicken, some potatoes and some veggies. I cooked up the potatoes and whipped them up nice and smooth and am taking her a chicken dinner for her supper tonight. The day staff have ordered another piece of apple pie for her since I forgot to buy one. Unfortunately my gravy didn't turn out well. Since the chicken was rotisserie done there wasn't any pan drippings to work with and I tried using the water from the potatoes and adding some soup mix, but it tasted too salty and very gross *blech* So no gravy

It was supposed to be chocolate, but we got involved in Ghost Hunters and it didn't get made, we resorted to cereal as a snack at 10:00 at night!



Tonight it's spaghetti with meat sauce and salad.
