Ingredients:

1 pork tenderloin (about 1 lb)
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
16 ounces pre-sliced baby portabella mushrooms (rinsed)
4 ounces gourmet mushrooms blend (rinsed)
2 tablespoons minced garlic
8 ounces bowtie pasta
2/3 cup Marsala wine
1 cup heavy cream




Steps


Preheat oven to 375°F. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Season all sides of pork with 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper (wash hands).
Place oil in pan; swirl to coat. Add pork (wash hands); cook 2–3 minutes on each side or until browned. Transfer pork to baking sheet (set pan aside for later use). Bake 25–30 minutes or until internal temperature of pork reaches 160°F (for medium). Use a meat thermometer to accurately ensure doneness.
Fill large saucepan half full of water. Cover and bring to a boil on high for pasta. Return pan used for pork to medium-high heat. Place butter in pan; swirl to coat.
Add mushrooms and garlic; cook 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until mushrooms soften and begin to release their juices. Stir pasta into boiling water. Boil 9–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until tender.
Season mushrooms with remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour wine over mushrooms; cook 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until wine has almost evaporated and mushrooms have released all their juices.
Stir in cream; cook 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until sauce has reduced by about one-third. Drain pasta; stir into sauce.
Let pork stand 5 minutes before slicing. Serve pasta and sauce with pork.

Brrrrrrr, I am surprised Betsy hasn't mentioned it turned cold here last night. It is colder at her house NW of me, but it is to be 50 here on the beach tonight. It is always colder at her house because she is inland and north of me. My windows are still open but I am putting my light blanket on the bed tonight. Don't you guys up north laugh at us So. Fl. whimpies.

Sorry, but yes - I admit that I get a chuckle out of it! We have predicted HIGHS this week of low-mid 40's and mid-20's at night so I will be sitting here with 3 layers on during the day!! (And a chance of snow flurries tonight / tomorrow am)!!!!! But I remember wishing for warmer weather than the 50's when we went down to FL last January for the first time! We were hoping for balmy tropical weather like ya'll always brag about! Didn't get it...but we were hoping for it!

I resisted for the longest time. After like a year of my friend and my neices telling me to get on there I finally set up a page. Even then I didnt really do anything for months on it. I have to say, I finally "got it". I have pics up, Im connecting with people from HS, Im talking to my friends more because its just so easy. Even my niece in college, I'm talking to her more than I did when she was living at home, LOL! Its so great to see peoples pictures and whats going on in their lives. And like I had said before...if I can figure out how to set up a page, anyone can. Get on there with us!

Brr!! It IS cold..it was 49 when I dropped off Kate this morning and tomorrow is suppose to be colder!!
I bought Kate and I a pair of Target brand Ugg type shoes..we only have flip flops and sneakers don't really keep my feet warm..these are so nice and toasty. I wore them to work today so my feet would stay warm..my toes are still a little cold!!

 

[CamColt]

You FL peeps are funny!

I heard this morning we have having January weather this week. Actually I think of January as colder than this, but...

Sad thing is we look at this as a good thing becuse theres no snow!

THIS is what you need:

Ain't nothing like GOOD WARM SOCKS!! I have about 3 pair of LL Bean wool blend hiking socks and let me tell you, I wear them every day right now. I admit, I have to wear them 2 days in a row since I only have 3 pair. I have had them for about 3 years - and I hang them to dry so they don't shrink or pill badly. I have a few other pair of wool socks that I've picked up at Target & Kohl's but they're not as thick. They do OK, but I stay warmer with these. I doubt you could get wool socks at your local Target in FL but I highly recommend picking up some of these from LL Bean! These Maine socks & fleece socks look cozy too

These looked good to me, so here are your Monday pics of the day:

Those temps are just not "right"! I definitely like my California temps much better.

Crazy huh?

 

[tinkryansmom]

crazy indeed.

Wouldn't go anywhere near DC January 20th. Nope. Not me.

OK just got off phone with relocation file coordinator. Fill out this, pdf it, have DH sign, fax back, blah blah blah. Pick a moving date so moving company can set that up. Um...how about we decide what to do with this house first and...I don't know...maybe find somewhere else to live??



This whole thing is irritating me.

But its official!! Stymie is Unemployed!!

 

[RonnieJo66]

Bets: Does Dave have his Christmas decor up yet? Is it still viewable online?

 

[Anal Annie]

It's GERT!! WhooHoo! Hey there Cousin Gert! What do you mean Stymie is Unemployed? That is a bad, bad word! He accepted the offer for the new gig right?! When does he start up (over) there? He is just takin' a few days off inbetween, right?!

So...your Cowboys beat DH's Skins! I just knew our guys would blow it.

[DisneyDmbNut]

lookie!! I FINALLY made my coffee cup!!

I made one after our 2005 cruise but the pictures were all faded.

 

[RonnieJo66]

Oh yeah! I made the cup

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

twice!!
I had more pictures, but I ran out of room!

 

[Anal Annie]

cute...where do you get the cups?

I am so freakin' cold. DS had swimming tonite...it's like 36 degrees & drizzly (could easily turn to sleet or snow flurries). Freakin' deer are out everywhere now...the interstate hwy we live off of goes from 6 lanes in each direction (down by where DS's pool is) to 4 to 3 by the time you get to our exit. Anyway, the lanes had just gone to 4 and here's a little family of the suckers standing RIGHT THERE on the edge. I'm screaming at them for doing a bad job of parenting the little ones. Takin' 'em out to dinner along the highway. Dumb things. I am so sick of seeing them run in front me and splattered along the road. Scary I tell ya.

Alright, gonna go crawl under a fleece throw and watch Heroes...

 

[DisneyDmbNut]
