Rosemary Pork and Acorn Squash

This was a really simple dinner to make.

Ingredients:

- 6 small potatoes

- 2 acorn squash

- pork loin roast

- Rosemary

- olive oil

Method:

1) preheat oven to 375 degrees F

2) cut the squash in half, scoop out the pits, and coat the acorn squash with 1/4 tsp rosemary, 1 tsp olive oil, and some pepper and salt

3) coat the roast with 1 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp rosemary, and some pepper and salt

4) bake 1 hr with lid on, then remove lid and bake another 20-30 minutes (knife should slide right through and juice should run clear)

5) start boiling water 30 minutes into baking pork roast

6) when water boils, boil for 15 minutes or until fork slides into potatoes easily

7) turn off heat for potatoes, drain, add about 1 tbsp butter and mash

8) add enough milk until you reach desired consistency

Steak and Instant Mashed Potato

As I mentioned yesterday, there's a sale at Safeway every first Tuesday of the month. Taking this opportunity, we purchased some meat to barbecue. We used the leftover cilantro from yesterday, a bit of whisky we have lying around, and some olive oil to marinate the steak overnight. Today we just added a bell pepper.

Barbecuing is so easy, just turn on the barbecue, plop the food on, and let it cook. When you're done, brush it up and you can pack it away.

Another meal under half an hour.
