This is definitely one I'm going to try.  I love pork tenderloin.

This recipe will be going with me to Penna. this weekend.

Have a full house up there and I know all of them will
love this.

Along with some sweet potatoes and probably a big , big
salad (fennel/anise included) and it should be very
pleasing.

Think I will add Etta's apple crisp for dessert.

Looks like I am all set !!!!!!
