What's on the Grill #41 - Florida Edition
Well, Dad was at it again last night with this Cajun Bourbon Tenderloin (straight from the Red Book). After cutting up the PSMO's, the tenderloin was marinated for twenty four hours. This is one of Zoe's favorites and consequently, I have been forbidden from reproducing it!
Ben & Ann swung by for dinner, which was great. Since they live in Destin, our paths very rarely cross. You can consider Ben & Ann "ex-pat's" from Ohio. They did what so many people talk about doing: live at your vacation destitation. There is a long family history with Ben and his family(even longer if Mom tells the story). For instance, we borrowed the mini-van from Ben's parents back home (Thanks Dr. & Mrs H!) My Mom and Ben's Mom have been friends for thirty years. In fact, they met when Ben's brother and I were in pre-school together.Well, enough talk about that. The next thing you know I will be going on about how Mom used to sew our own clothes and...
So, it was a great meal on every front. Dad's tenderloin turned out great. It was of course partitioned into two pieces: the medium rare "American Side" and the well done "English Side". Ann also likes her beef well done, so she took up sides with the English. None to worry, I told her she was really with the United Nations and we wouldn't hold it against her. Nothing like peace at the dinner table.
