Grilled Pork Tenderloin

Grilled Pork Tenderloin

1 1/2 - 2 lb. pork tenderloin
 2 T. olive oil
 2 T. balsamic vinegar
 1 tsp. soy sauce
 4 cloves garlic, chopped
 1/2 tsp. black pepper

Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and pepper. Place the tenderloin in a Ziploc bag and pour in the marinade. Marinate for at least 2-3 hours, the longer the better. Fire up the grill, you want the heat to be at least 400 degrees. Remove the pork loin and place on the grill, cooking for approx. 30-35 minutes (depends on the thickness of your pork loin) and turning the meat to char/grill all sides. Using a meat thermometer check that the internal temp. is 140 degrees before removing from the grill. Allow the meat to rest 10 minutes before slicing.

Happy National Pancake Day

Happy National Pancake Day
Breakfast for dinner anybody

Homemade Pancake Recipe 

3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons white vinegar (see note)
1 cup all purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar (I used 3)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Combine the milk and vinegar in a small bowl for 10 minutes to "sour". This is an important step and it is called "soured milk" which is much different that sour milk. I guarantee you will NOT taste the vinegar in the final product. Set aside.

Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk the soured milk, egg, vanilla and melted butter together. Pour into the dry ingredients and whisk until most of the lumps are gone, but DO NOT OVER BEAT!!

The batter will be thick, don't add any more liquid. LET THE BATTER SIT UNDISTURBED FOR TEN MINUTES!!

After 10 minutes, you will see bubbles in the batter, very important DO NOT STIR AGAIN.

GENTLY dip out (don't pour out) 1/2 cup of batter and place it on a buttered grill or frying pan. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake and then flip with a spatula and brown the other side.

*Note Add your favorite Fruit ie: Blueberries

Big Cat Act

I am a cat lover big cats and small cats, I don't agree with keeping big cats and other animals in the circus. It’s not right to force them to perform in environment that isn’t meant for these type  of animals  or to justify for someone else happiness isn’t always bests for these animals. Todays world we hear of Abuse its a strong word is a real one and really happens, Even to Big cats ,once you are done with whipping them, beating them,. You leave them to not able to live on there own in the wild or take care of there self, or seeking out what to do with circus cats once they are old or unable to perform in the way you like, Its like tossing away a piece of trash with animals on the side of the road. These cats have feeling too. They cry like we do in there own way. They bleed like we do, they morn like we do, they feel love when there life isn’t on a threatened, They have there own personalities. So many cats are getting abused and its in the news daily if you could show that Not using Big Cat in your acts will be one step in Stopping the abuse.  Please Make the call of the wild today to stop the abuse.

Thank you

All About Bear The Cat

We found Bear and his mother with is two other siblings in our garage soon after I had to put my cat to rests. We saw bear's mother hanging out in our driveway, she was friendly and pregnant living in underneath an old computer stands. she was thin, we are thinking she was someone's cat that got lost. In our neighborhood on 4th of July there was a really bad thunderstorm, high winds, and lighting. We put a dish of food and water out for her. she let us pat her. we followed her into the garage and found a pink leopard blanket and set it up for mommy kitty. we noticed her and her kittens was born and little fur balls...We couldn't take in the mother and 2 siblings at this time, we put mommy and babies in the carrier and brought them to our local Animal Shelter on 9-6-2013.We told the shelter that we would like to have the black kitten when he comes available. The shelter tested him for FeLV/FIV Combo he tested Negative. We adopted Bear on Oct 11, 2013.The adoption fee was less because it was Black Cat month at our local shelter was at all in Oct.
