Monday Night

We have a standing dinner party every Monday night. Dear friends open their house and their hearts to a varied group of friends - never less than 12 as many as 30+ (when all the kids are home from college). It is a great time. An email goes out on Monday morning - everyone responds with what and who they are bringing. Then magic happens. Last night's menu was simple yet delicious.

Grilled Pork Tenderloin
Brown Rice with Almonds
Tossed Salad

The recipe worth sharing is the Brown Rice with Almonds - This was courtesy of Paul. He thinly sliced a couple of onions and smashed up a bit of garlic. He caramelized in some butter and olive oil. The then tossed in a lot of chopped almonds. Paul is a cheater and used boil-in-the-bag brown rice which takes about 10 minutes. He then tossed the whole thing together. It was just so fantastic. RAVE REVIEW FROM ALL THE SOUPS! Little Miss and Little Mister both ate and enjoyed it.
