Re: (...)
I'll be danged if I can find the recipe to bump the thread---Billy bailed me out for the actual recipe via pm's. Anyway---this was an awesome recipe for this cut of pork...the meat was succulent and oh so tasty with the hint of wine for the final phase of roasting. I had to use marsala instead of Madeira and this worked well.....the mushroom sauce was perfect withe the orzo that I made as the starch side and buttered green beans. Nice dinner and the leftovers ended up for the second night's open faced sandwiches (made a gravy).
Just a thank you Erin, nice one......now I'm sure someone will find that thread and bump up for the recipe??!!?? YES---I'm computer challenged

If not, then I will be happy to retype for anyone interested.

My brain is challenged today Roxanne...which of the two recipes were you talking about? I could probably figure it out...eventually, but it would require thinking and I am unable to comply today
Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.

Oh crud, now I've got to load paper in the printer! Sounds divine - now I need a whole lot of mushrooms. Just happen to have a boneless pork loin in the freezer!!!

Everything but the mushrooms

in on hand.
Thank's for sharing this Erin, and bringing it back up Roxanne!

Well, so do I...several as a matter of fact! I screwed up my MC9 so I had to uninstall it and reinstall it. Now it won't work with the internet. Maybe it's because the 800 lb gorilla made me so mad today, but that's another story.

Sharon is bowing gratefully!
We had this last night for dinner. Geeze it was amazing. The sauce was absolutely to die for. Thank you for sharing this.
Roxanne I offered to make Bob polenta - but he like your idea of the orzo, with chive butter, as a side. Plates were licked clean!

Wow, thanks for bringing this back up, as I must have missed it the first time. Copied it now and will be making this soon.
Billy, regarding MC. I don't know what happened with my program, but I can't copy recipes the usual way either. It just stopped working, so now I have to copy and paste the whole recipe directly into the directions part of a new recipe, then fix it later.

This was a yumm yumm!!!!

We don't do the loin very often so this was a winner for us!!
I'm not a polenta fan either---orzo was great but maybe a potato mash would work just as well?? What do you think??
BTW---the chive was an addition to my orzo as well---GREAT MINDS!!!!

I absolutely love chives in my orzo - and if I can get good Chinese chives even better! Some red radishes, blanched and quartered are also great in orzo with the chives.
(I think I'm sick of potatoes right now)

So how do Chinese chives differ from French chives (the ones we have here).....I also have garlic chives in my herb garden---great for most dishes---should have used those in this side, in retrospect---
