Southern Wednesday

Getting ready for my next appearance on The Margaret Banks show. This week is about turning your passion into profits, which is actually perfect for bloggers!

In the meantime, trying to get time to be still a bit and enjoy the world around us. Like a red sunset. You know the saying:

Red sky at night, sailors delight.

Which signals that tomorrow, the weather will be nice. LOVE that!

I love all of the colors of the beginning of Spring, when the earth wakes up from a drab and stark winter to soften into beautiful greens and the bright colors of Spring!

Hope you are having a wonderful week!

Today’s Lagniappe:  Pork with Orange
Something beautiful for a beautiful day.

1 1/2 Pound Lean Pork Strips
1 Teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Cup Fresh Orange Juice
1/2 Cup Fresh Pineapple Juice
2 Minced Garlic Cloves
2 Teaspoons Cornstarch
1 Teaspoon Grated Orange Peel
1 1/2 Teaspoons Dried Basil Leaves
1 Pinch Of Salt And Pepper
2  Med Size Sliced Oranges
3/4 Cup Sliced Green Onion

In a large cooking pan, heat the olive oil on medium to high heat. Add the pork and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until cooked. In a mixing bowl add in the pineapple
and orange juice, minced garlic, cornstarch, and basil, stirring until it is all very well blended. Add the content of the bowl to the pork, bring to a boil then let it cool for 3 to 4 minutes while stirring. Now salt and pepper the meat, and place it on a bed of rice. Pour the orange basil sauce over pork and rice and let cool.

    That sunset is gorgeous, and so is the picture of Spring in bloom! That recipe sounds really good, especially since it calls for lots of garlic and basil. Yum!
    Happy REDnesday!
