  1. I prepared 10 pork tenderloins, cubed them, marinated them for 24 hours, then threaded them on skewers, I increased the spice mixure (I used the "change size" on the bottom of the recipe to 10). I gave them to my spice-loving DS to grill at his BD bash, I also added in garlic powder to the spice mixture. According to my son they were a huge success, but was informed that they could have been just a little more spicier. Thanks Marg!...Kitten:)
     
  2. Very good! Served with a little dill sauce on the side for dipping. Worked really well. Thanks for the keeper.
     
  3. LOVED this recipe!!! Made it last summer and definitely will be making it this summer as well.
     
  4. Very tasty. reduced cayenne to 1/2 t. and that was just about right. Very easy too.
     
  5. Delicious. I think my chunks were a little big, because it took about 40 minutes to cook. I did them in the oven. Next time we will grill them. Fun recipe. Served with red beans and rice as a main dish.

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!! On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges! We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006. I've participated in many contests & events here on Zaar but this is the first banner that I've posted. My thanks to Dreamgoddess for hosting the contest & SusieD for the banner design! <img src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f249/Dreamgoddess555/Narrow1-1.jpg">
