I would still blog if no one read it, but it means a lot when people leave me encouraging feedback. <br /><br />I hope you'll enjoy the pork recipe- and if you're not familiar with it, check out Recipezaar where I found the recipe- it's chock full of recipes and advice from other home cooks.Erika W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16817539364974864595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11875254.post-41594859581461572922006-11-12T08:32:00.000-06:002006-11-12T08:32:00.000-06:00This recipe sounds great and I plan to try it this...This recipe sounds great and I plan to try it this week.

It was still partially frozen when I cut it into slices, so that actually made it easier to slice it. Then I just let the slices sit to the side while I prepped everything else, and they were mostly thawed by the time I tossed them in the pan. I did give the whole dish some extra time to bubble away to make sure it was cooked through.<br /><br />I have found that when defrosting in the microwave, I need to use less time than the micro suggests, and meat products need frequent turning to keep the edges from cooking a bit. I do try to think ahead and pull something out in the morning or the day before, but sometimes I rely on the microwave. The key is to pay close attention when microwaving-Erika W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16817539364974864595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11875254.post-57218244487589108802006-11-11T18:58:00.000-06:002006-11-11T18:58:00.000-06:00Your dinner looks great -- wish I could just whip ...Your dinner looks great -- wish I could just whip that up at the last moment. A bit off topic, but how do you defrost it the pork loin in such a short time. I've only defrosted stuff in the refrig a day or two before. Do you microwave it -- I tried it once but I think I over did it.<br /><br />Thanks - love your blogAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
