Pork Fillets in Orange Sauce

"My friend, Karen, gave me this recipe. I think it could also work with chicken fillets. If when you are ready to eat, there is too much sauce, turn up the heat and boil some off. The sauce, when cooked down, makes a lovely caramel golden brown sauce on the fillets. Because the sauce is rich, I usually serve the meals with plain mashed potatoes and a fresh green vegetable."

I am one of 9 kids -- actually right in the middle which makes me the most interesting and cool as well as the one who has "it all together"::)) - or at least I think so! Now that I am retired, I love to cook. No more do I get home around 8.30 at night and think -- Oh hell, I have to cook dinner. I belong to the most amazing family. My Mum -- who passed away in July 2008 at the ripe old age of 90 always used to say -- "keep the family together" -- and we do. It is so easy to pick up the phone and tell my siblings I love them. I am lucky that a lot of my friends are great cooks, so we often swap recipes. I am exceedingly jealous of those who are 'natural' cooks and don't need a recipe. I am the opposite. Besides cooking, I like the theatre, music, gardening, trying to paint -- another thing that doesn't come naturally -- and meeting people. My DH was born in America and together we have two toy poodles -- Elliott & Connery -- a cat named NUC (passed away March 2009) -- four chickens and a few koy fish. DH is GRADUALLY taking an interest in my vegetable garden - one can only live in hope::))
