Lasagne, leftover from Friday, and a bran & raisin muffin for dessert. (Note to the spellchecker: “lasagne” is correct, as it is plural - you don’t say “spaghetto” or “raviolo”; there’s more than one noodle involved.) ---

I, too, got a pork loin on the grill. I salted and pepoered it and wrapped it up with kielbasa sausages. It slow cooked for 2 hours. Man, as I was slicing it I got the chefs portion and it was great. We have spinach salad and corn for sides. And rolls. ( My spinach and onions and radishes are from my garden, I am dying waiting on tomatoes, they are blooming, yay!) ---

How do you wrap a pork loin with sausage? Bacon I can picture, but kielbasa isn’t flexible or bendy enough … ---

> [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > How do you wrap a pork loin with sausage? Bacon I can picture, but kielbasa isn’t flexible or bendy enough … No No you mis-understood. I wrapped the loin and sausage to gether in foil and put it on the grill as a package. We really like this sausage and the flavor transfers into the loin. It’s a lazy way to season the meat. Sorry I wasn’t clear. ---

Oh, God, last night I made a homemade pizza that was absolutely to die for! I floured and spread a pound of dough out on a sheet pan lubricated with extra virgin olive oil. For the sauce, I sauteed a little sliced onion and chopped garlic and then added marinara tomato sauce and oregano. I then created the pizza by liberally spreading the sauce, then some freshly grated fontina cheese, followed by thinly sliced sweet peppers and roughly chopped kalamata olives. I then cooked it at 475 for 18 minutes. Lordy, Lord! 🙂 ---
