Saw something similar on television a few weekends ago and this sounded good. I can’t for the life of me remember exact measurements, but this recipe easy enough to just whip up on the fly…
Nice cut of Pork Tenderloin
Olive Oil
Lemon Zest
Fresh Thyme & Rosemary
Sweet Potatoes
Salt & Pepper
In a dish mix olive oil, lemon zest, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper to desired consistency and taste. Place meat & marinade into plastic ziploc coating meat liberally, place in the fridge for a few hours.
Preheat cash iron skillet in the oven at 400F. Place tenderloin fat side up in the pan. Cook for 45min or until internal temperature is approximately 160F. Allow meat to rest for 10mins before slicing.
While the meat is cooking, slice sweet potatoes into desired french fry sized slices. Place in a bowl and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Cook sweet potato fries for 30min, flipping after 15mins.
I’m introducing a new semi-regular blog feature. Every day is a struggle to think of something to write about. Most days I have plenty of 1 or 2 liners that work, but don’t necessarily have enough content to make it worth it. So instead of tossing those ideas out, I’ll toss them on the internets. Win/win if you ask me…
Why the fuck do people include their email address in the signature of an email that they send to you?
This video takes a simple concept and turns it into a visual masterpiece. As an added bonus, the track is pretty nice too.

Why can no one talk about health care reform like an adult? Why does every discussion deteriorate into a fist fight within 2 minutes?
I’m tired of baseless propaganda from both sides.
The way I see it you have 2 options:
You can just let Capitalism do its thing — you’ve got health insurance which you pay for so fuck everyone else if you make too little to have an employer insure you. Or you can provide a minimum level of coverage for all — for a cost.
On one side, Capitalism doesn’t give a fuck about anyone. On the other, there is a stop-gap in place for society as a whole.
If you stop and think about it we’re all paying for either option out of our own pocket, it’s just a matter of which pot gets filled.
2 heads broccoli, trimmed to florets (about 4 cups)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons butter
3 garlic cloves, chopped
5 strips cooked turkey bacon, diced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally. After 5 minutes, add the broccoli florets to the pasta and stir and cook for another 4 minutes. Drain pasta and broccoli, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the garlic, anchovies, and red pepper flakes and cook for 5 minutes. Add the broccoli, pasta, salt and pepper and toss. Add some of the reserved pasta water, if necessary, to make a light sauce. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with Parmesan.
CIO Magazine becomes the latest publication to pile onto Detroit:
It’s easy to pick on poor Detroit, but it would hardly be any IT staffer’s destination of choice right now. What’s left of the tech jobs at automobile industry companies that haven’t already been outsourced (see: GM) is quite low as those companies and their suppliers try to survive bankruptcy and the global recession. Detroit also has the distinction of being named to the top 10 of Forbes’ “Fastest Dying U.S. Cities” list.
Way to kick us when we’re down. Thankfully I have a job right now, but who knows these days…
