This one would work either on the Rotisserie or in a pan over indirect heat. Time will depend on how hot your grill gets. The internal temperature for pork should be between 160° and 170° It will start to dry out after that. Ann. Home Cookin 4.8 Chapter: Recipes From Thibeault's Table Pancetta-Wrapped Pork Roast =========================== Original recipe from Biba's Italian Kitchen. 2 1/2 pound centre cut boneless pork loin (single not double loin) 1 or 2 cloves of garlic minced Salt pepper 1/4 pound sliced pancetta 5 to 6 sprigs fresh rosemary 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil 5 to 6 cloves garlic peeled . Season the pork loin with salt and pepper and rub with minced garlic. Wrap the meat with the pancetta. Tie roast securely with string and tuck the sprigs of rosemary under the string. Either brown on top of the stove or place roast in a 500 oven for 20 minutes until brown. Add the 5 or 6 cloves of garlic to the pan and reduce the heat to 350° to 375° and roast for another 40 to 45 minutes or until meat is cooked. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest. Add some broth to the pan and make a sauce using the drippings and the garlic cloves. Slice thin and serve with some of the juices. Also you can cook large potato wedges in with the roast for the last 30 to 40 minutes. Here is a link that might be useful: Cooking Chart

Great photos everyone....Lou your chicken, Ann's birthday dinner for Moe, Kathleen's blueberry tart...and that clematis is beautiful! Coconut's cabbage casserole and Malna's asparagus....all delicious. Oh and your deer and bunnies Malna...I would melt if I found one of those in my garden! I've been too busy to post the past few days, but we had a roast turkey breast ages ago, which ended up as turkey curry. But yesterday was a great adventure, as I drove up the volcano with friends and we met up with the Warner Bros. film crew as they were filming the new version of Clash of the Titans. Ohmigosh...do those people ever need a lot of trucks, vans, trailers, equipment and people!!!! They have taken over one lane of the road at the top of the volcano with their stuff and the little govenment hotel at the top is now the centre of a sea of white trailers and cabins. I will try and post some pics I took of that over on Conversations. My friends took me to a lovely little restaurant....in the highest village of all Spain! Yes the air was clear and we sat under a grape arbour....couldn't have been more picturesque. And up there are seas of pink rock roses in bloom, white and yellow broom, fields of giant buttercups, California poppies, yellow roses, masses of geraniums hanging over walls. It was a beautiful trip and the sky was such an intense blue up at the top! They ate goat and rabbit and I ate chicken. Wolfram decided not to come with us as it's such a long, hot drive and he prefers to stay home where it's quiet and cool. Here are some pics of where and what we ate: 1. Entering the small patio restaurant 2. The view under the grape arbour where we sat. 3. Salad, bread and wine arrives. 4. A dish of stewed goat (not mine). 5. The amazing red tajinaste flower, endemic only to the top of this volcano is now in bloom. I'm posting a slideshow of my photos taken there over on Conversations, including the Warner Bros. crew filming a scene up there on the mountain. See you there. SharonCb

Emily, I know the feeling trying to keep summertime meals light and interesting! I find I run into the same doldrums. here are some of my summertime favs: Bowtie Pasta and Sausage 5 Johnsonville Italian sausage links 1 16 ounce package farfalle (bow tie) pasta 3 Tbsp. olive oil 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 onion, sliced into small wedges 1 green, red and yellow pepper cut in strips 15 cherry tomatoes, halved Salt & pepper to taste Place five Johnsonville Italian links into a large skillet and cook according to the package directions. While sausage is cooking, start pasta. When sausage is done, remove links from the pan and cool until they can be handled, then slice into 1/2 inch coins. Keep remaining drippings from the sausage, and add the olive oil and minced garlic to the skillet. Heat on low until the garlic releases its flavor, but not browned. Add sliced vegetables and sauté for two minutes, or until tender. Mix the sliced sausage with the vegetables in the skillet, and cook until sausage is heated through. Add cooked and drained pasta to skillet and toss with the sausage and vegetables. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm. Optional Special Touches: * Add 1/2 cup of red wine to the vegetables while sautéing. * Add 1/4 cup chopped green onion. * Top with shredded Asiago cheese. * Substitute zucchini for one of the vegetable selections Tortellini Salad: 1 pkg. of you favorite tortellini (cooked according to directions. 1 pint of grape tomatoes halved Lots of fresh basil chopped Lots of good parm. cheese. Mix all together and refrigerate till you are ready to eat. I also add grilled chicken or shrimp to it sometimes to make a nice meal. Some other ideas, beer can chicken, cold shrimp or seafood kabobs! I also enjoy gazpacho and I'm thinking of making that this weekend! Here is a pork tenderloin recipe that we enjoy: Honeyed Pork Tenderloin with Avocado-Peach Salsa ½ cup soy sauce 1 TBSP Sesame oil 2-tsps teriyaki sauce 2-cloves minced garlic 1-tsp ground ginger 1 (1 pound) pork tenderloin ¼ cup honey 2 TBSPS brown sugar 4 ½ TBSPS sesame seeds Combine first 5 ingredients in a large shallow dish or heavy-duty zip=lock plastic bag. Add pork. Cover or seal, and chill 6-8 hours. Remove pork from marinade, discarding marinade. Stir together honey and brown sugar. Brush pork with honey mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place on a lightly greased rack in a roasting pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until meat thermometer reaches 160. ( I grill the pork instead of roasting it for about the same amount of time) Cut tenderloin into slices and serve with salsa. Avocado Peach Salsa 1 cup peeled, diced fresh peaches (In the winter I used canned) 1 large tomatoes diced (I used Roma) ½ cup diced avocado (about 1 small) 1 TBSP minced red onion 1 TBSP lime juice 1 tsp olive oil ¼ tsp salt ¼ tsp ground red pepper Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, cover and chill until ready to serve I have a chicken brushetta recipe that is easy and yummy that I'll pass along to you as soon as I find it! I hope this helps some. This is the time of year I start thinking about fall and Winter dishes! Enjoy, Gina

You DO need to check their prices carefully. Often times if toilet paper is on sale at Target, it is cheaper than Costco. Also, Costo will not accept coupons. Another thing that is almost always cheaper somewhere else (on sale) is soda (Pepsi). Great buys for me: kitty litter (Fresh Step), Bush's Baked Beans in small cans, jarred artichockes (great for dip), vanilla, spices (they don't have all of them though), spaghetti sauce (they only sell Prego, wish it was Ragu), dried spaghetti. Their sheet cakes are a huge bargain and everyone raves about them. I don't think their produce (strawberries etc...) are always a great deal. Also, I LOVE their ground beef -- awesome price and makes the best burgers you'll ever have. My complaint with their other meat is they slice their pork chops and steaks WAY TOOO THICK. And, they will not special cut a loin for you if you ask. What you see is what you get.
