Pork Tenderloin with Pan Sauce

Ingredients:
1⁄2 cups olive oil
1⁄3 cup soy sauce
1⁄4 cup red wine vinegar
Juice of 1 lemon
1-2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1-2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 tsp dry mustard
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 1-lb. pork tenderloin (silver skin removed)

Directions:
Combine all marinade ingredients and reserve 2-3 Tbsp. Place the pork
tenderloin and marinade in a Ziplock bag and let marinate for 
at least 3-4 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a hot skillet over medium-high heat,
sear each side of tenderloin for 2-3 minutes. Place in the oven 
and cook for 30-40 minutes or until the meat has reached 160 degrees. 
Let rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

Pan Sauce:
Pan scrapings from pork tenderloin
1/2 cup of chicken broth
2-3 tbsp of pork marinade (thoroughly mixed)
1-2 tsp butter

Meanwhile, place the skillet back on the stove over medium heat.
Add the chicken broth and scrape up all the browned pieces from 
the bottom of the pan. Add the marinade and let it boil down for
2-3 minutes. Addthe butter and remove from heat stirring until
butter has melted. Pour over the pork tenderloin.

Carrie's Meatloaf

Elise here is the meatloaf recipe I have used.  I got it from my old roommate Carrie.  Everything in the parenthesis is her commentary.  Anything in italics is from me.

1 beaten egg (sometimes I make a 1 and 1/2 lb meatloaf, then I use an egg and 1 egg white too)
1 slice of bread crumbs (if you use dry use about 1/4 c)
1/4 c milk
1/4 c finely chopped onion (here is the happy mistake I made the other day... I had no onion so I used a packet of onion soup mix, whoa it was good!)
1/4 c finely chopped celery (or green pepper or carrots or mushrooms)  I love to add mushrooms... but that's just me
1/2 tsp basil
1 lb ground beef
the second secret ingredient: I add a little pork sausage, maybe like 1/4 of a lb

Mix egg, bread, milk, onion, celery, basil, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper

Add the beef (and pork) and mix well. I know this is gross, but I've found the only way to really get the sausage mixed in well is by using my hands. Haven't you ever noticed that sausage tends to clump together?

Put in your loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes. I put it on a platter and then brush with a couple tablespoons of bbq sauce (I know, its not much, but makes all the difference)
