So on Mandajuice she once talked about cooking her green beans with chicken base and even though I'm not a fan of green beans I decided I had to try it. Umm, yeah. De.lic.ous. I'm not sure what her method was/is but I put some butter, a touch of olive oil (to help the butter not burn), about a 1/2 t. of chicken base, 1/4 C. water, S&P to taste, and the cleaned green beans in a pan. I turn it up to med-high to get it simmering, then turn it down until all the water has evaporated and the beans are cooked. Thats it. So quick and easy, so tasty. I think it only takes about 10 minutes total, I wasn't really paying attention this time. But if you're not a big green bean fan maybe you should try them this way, then decide.
Tomorrow night I'm making a pork tenderloin. Never cooked one before but how hard can it be... no really? I know how I'm going to cook it, but not how I'm going to season it. I've only ever cooked pork maybe 2-3 times so I don't have any idea which direction to go with the flavor. I have some research to do. Again, this is something I'm not really a fan of... pork. For a while I wouldn't eat it at all. I just didn't like the flavor of pig. I had tenderloin, chops, mixed in with other foods, ribs, whole roast pig... didn't like it. But recently I tried a pork chop, that I had cooked, and it wasn't bad. Someone else had been posting about tenderloins and so I bought some at Costco. Now here I am. If you have any suggestion for flavorings let me know. Otherwise I'll let you know how it turns out tomorrow.
