What I had for dinner...

I apologize for the lack of photo, but it wasn't until after the orgy of awesomeness that I realized my oversight.

The idea for tonight's meal came from the usual source, the food market. I found some nice pork tenderloins. So I made an herb and garlic stuffed pork tenderloin, seared and slow grilled over hickory coals. For the sides I picked up some beautiful brussells sprouts that I cut in half and pan roasted in olive oil with a nice drizzle of burre fondue. For the starch we toasted up some wonderfully crusty bread with olive oil. Mmmm.

This past Christmas I got my wife a "wine wheel" which is a device that allows you to look up the food that you are having and it makes some suggestions for wine pairings. The idea is that I call my wife and let her know what I'm cooking and she picks up a bottle on the way home. Well, the suggestions for tonight's fare were Merlot or a Chianti, and my wife, the wonderful woman that she is, showed up with both... And not surprisingly, we drank both. Which explains why I passed out at 9:00 and am now "awake" and blogging at 2:30 in the morning. Ugh.
