Luke’s father came down from Manchester and being my first Easter away from family ever, I decided to cook a nice dinner for the house. Fortunately, my own father gave some wonderful advice on recipes and helped me along (First piece of advice: Leg of Lamb is great. Second piece of advice: English shoppers are determined and relentless. Have a second choice). At his suggestion, I tried a Pork Tenderloin with Apples and Potatoes (with beans and carrots as sides). The meal turned out wonderfully, and the new potatoes were marvelous.

Notes on the recipe: the pork seemed slightly overdone, maybe one should try slightly less than the 50-55 minutes in the oven. The potatoes were absolutely delicious and were perfectly cooked (and disappeared immediately). Lastly, although Luke was very ill and didn’t eat much (which is why he doesn’t show up in the photos), the recipe seemed more on the 6 people side. This may change on the amount of sides, but we certainly have loads of delicious leftovers. A all-around success, I would definitely try this recipe again.

A note for the photo-inclined (probably only Robert): unfortunately I can’t claim ownership of the good shots here. The blown out flashed shots were both mine (the shadows in the knife shot are quite bothering), while the perfect food shots were taken by Becky.
