  4. Please see my March 31st post of family recipes for the Spicy Sausage and Rice recipe. I may include the Chalupa recipe tomorrow if I get permission from the friend who shared it with me.

  5. Marcia, how do you prepare and cook your pork loin. I must be doing something wrong, because the ones I cook are tough. Sarah

  6. I dredge my pork loin in flour and then brown it on all sides in a hot skillet w/ a little olive. Then, I place in the crock pot, salt and pepper generously,and leave on low for several hours til tender. Depending on my mood, I snip herbs from the garden and put on top of it; or make slits in the pork with a sharp knife and insert slivers of fresh garlic; or sprinkle w/ lemon-pepper seasoning. It depends, too, on what I'm serving with it. I love to fix red potatoes w/ parsley, butter and garlic salt for a side! Ben and I really like carrots roasted with the meat, as well.
    Hey, what a sharp-looking couple I saw in the paper recently! Happy 50th Anniversary to you and your hubby! Best wishes.

  7. Thank you for the wishes.
    I guess I have been cooking on too high a heat as I put it on the high on the crock pot and at that temp. in the oven. Thanks. Sarah
