What's for Dinner, Fri., Apr. 8, 2022

Going to my girlfriend's for dinner. She is roasting a pork loin. I'm bringing the applesauce.

I also made the salad, which is tangerines, cucumber, celery, scallion, dried cranberries and currants. Topped it with glazed walnuts and pomegranate seeds. Put them in at the last minute.

I also made sesame ginger orange dressing to go with it. That's off to the lower right in the pic.



Tea and whatever she has for dessert; she didn't tell me that part.

It's a beautiful Spring afternoon in the Catskills so I'm going to grill a NY strip steak and toss a potato on the grill, too. I'm going to try to make a Bearnaise sauce but it's such a pain!

Steamed green beans with slices of almonds and a small tomato salad with Balsamic vinegar & olive oil dressing.

Orange sherbet for dessert.

ETA: NJCher, your salads are legendary!

We're providing dinner for the gaming group today, and this is something everyone will eat (one person doesn't eat olives, another doesn't anything beginning with "a&quot and it can be made in advance and reheated. I was going to put some Swiss chard in, as the garden plot needs to be thinned, but I forgot.
