Diana's Poached Egg

Mark went to visit a family friend and she taught him how to make a fantastic poached egg.


Ingredients 

 1 egg
1 T red wine vinegar
English muffin
lemon
butter
tarragon

Directions 

1. Put 1 inch of water into a small skillet. Bring the water to a simmer.
2. Shake about 1 T of vinegar over the top of the water ( the vinegar will help the egg stay together)
3. Crack egg and drop gently into the water.
4. Cook for minimum of 3-4 minutes. Cook longer if you prefer a harder yolk.
5. Meanwhile, put your English muffin in the toaster.
6. Remove egg with a spoon with holes in it (so the water can drain). Gently shake egg to remove excess water. Place onto English muffin.
7. Squeeze a little bit of lemon juice over the egg.
8. Pour melted butter over egg and sprinkle with tarragon.

Crock Pot Pork Tenderloin

Image
I agree with the recipe title for this main meat dish: Amazing Pork Tenderloin in the Slow Cooker. I found this recipe (well actually my husband Mark found it) on http://allrecipes.com .  Ingredients: 1 (2 pound) pork tenderloin 1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix 1 cup water 3/4 cup red wine 3 tablespoons minced garlic 3 tablespoons soy sauce ground black pepper (to taste) Directions (adapted from http://allrecipes.com/recipe/amazing-pork-tenderloin-in-the-slow-cooker/ ): Place the pork tenderloin ( we bought ours from Trader Joe's) in the crock pot with the contents of the soup mix. Pour the water, wine (we used Charles Shaw red table wine from Trader Joe's; it was only about 4 dollars!), and soy sauce over the top, turning the pork to coat. Carefully spread the garlic over the pork, leaving as much on top of the roast while cooking as possible. Sprinkle with pepper. Cover. Cook on low setting for four hours. Serve with cooking liquid on the side as au jus....
