So, what should you be doing right now instead of reading and writing your blog? I mean right this minute?

I am studiously not going to my various web forums right now because that will suck me in easily for two to three hours. I have various computer-y things to do that while not important, really, are things that I want to do. And getting sucked into discussions would totally derail that.

One thing that I am supposed to be doing that I am actually doing, however, is looking for a good recipe for a pork tenderloin. I was going to cook a beef roast tonight, but the wrong meat got pulled out of the freezer.

    I think I can help with the pork tenderloin.....If you like mexican food anyway!
    Start by cutting it up into cubes about 1 by 1 inch.....place in roaster.....Cut up a large onion about the same size1 by 1 inch ....put all over pork.....Cover with chopped canned tomatoes....has to be a lot of liquid....so depending on how much pork you start with....usually a couple of large cans will do....season with garlic (lots) salt, pepper, a little oregano, and chili powder (fair amount) cover and cook for 3 or 4 hours at 350 until the meat is nice and tender. Serve with flour tortillas.
     
    This will knock your socks off!
  • TinSoldier said on Mar 24, 2007....
    Ooh. That sounds pretty good...

    I already found a recipe at Taste of Home online though. Relatively simple and I already had most of the ingredients.

    Now I must continue to resist going to my web forums and work on a couple of other tasks -- a rough-draft HTML/Javascript dice roller and trying to rescue files from a broken backup.

    oops....sorry I forgot the initial question.....I should be cleaning the house...my turn...or doing my taxes....or doing remodel work...but I am low on remodel funds at the time so I am waiting on that.
  • wombat said on Mar 24, 2007....
    I should be sorting through junk and preparing to move in a couple of months.
  • TinSoldier said on Mar 24, 2007....
    I have failed... I am now here and on my web forums.

    It's not that I won't do the things I want/need to do, but...

    *sigh*

    I should probably be cleaning house. In a few minutes I should be cooking a late dinner. And then I should be...hmmmm...probably doing some work related to work.
  • kruuyai said on Mar 24, 2007....
    I should be sleeping.  It's almost 2 a.m.  I've lost a lot of sleep due to soulcast.
  • gingersoul said on Mar 24, 2007....

    Tin.....I should walk the dog...its 8pm and he is already fidgeting around....ok i am going...

    Simplest recipe for your pork tenderloin? Spread it all over with honey mustard and fennel seeds...and cook it.....its simply delicious.. or you can use any orange glaze if you like...or stuffed it with garlic ... Buon appetito...:-)

  • TinSoldier said on Mar 24, 2007....
    Thanks, ginger! I may try that.

    The last time I did a pork roast, I just added some spices to it that sounded good and it came out very good.

    Pork is so easy...
  • gingersoul said on Mar 24, 2007....
    Tin...pork tenderloin is so tender.....you can throw anything with it and it always comes out yummi.......why don't you bake some potatoes with fennel and garlic too? Now you made me hungry....lol..
  • TinSoldier said on Mar 24, 2007....
    ginger-- That is exactly what I'm doing. Red potatoes and pork tenderloin with a drizzle made with olive oil and some spices...

    I'm hungry too, now.

    I've all but given up on my other computer-y stuff for today though.
  • HairSprayGirl said on Mar 24, 2007....
    Well,since I am supposed to be babysitting my two little nephews I'm really not supposed to be doing much! The little one is asleep and the 4 year old is thinking he is drinking root beer (it's 8:30 pm) when really my bf replaced it with water!!! haha. We're so mean,playing tricks on this little boy. But we don't agree with his mother that he should drink sugar so late! So, I actually have time to kick back and soulcast!!!!
  • TinSoldier said on Mar 24, 2007....
    Awesome, HairSprayGirl!

    BTW, the pork tenderloin turned out very good. In fact, I have a difficult time not overeating it.

    It took longer than the recipe said (almost twice as long in my oven) and the potatoes were a little over cooked, but overall a win.
  • HairSprayGirl said on Mar 24, 2007....
    OMG! my mouth is watering!!! Sounds de-lish!!!!!
  • MissMimi said on Mar 24, 2007....

    Well, since it's 11:30 at night as I'm writing this, I should be doing... exactly what I'm doing! I guess I could consider going to bed, or I could knit or sew, but this is much more interesting at the moment.

    I have a yummy recipe for pork tenderloin and red potatoes seasoned with garlic and fennell seed.  Very easy and very good.

  • wombat said on Mar 24, 2007....
    HairSprayGirl:  I am hungry, too.  Hope we get invited to dinner soon.... guess I am stuck with microwave food and a cuddle from hubby.  Good night all....
  • LadyGamer said on Mar 25, 2007....
    I have nothing else to do. Except, you know, work on that manuscript.
    Or that one.
    Or the other one there.
    Or sleep.
    Or clean the closet.
    I have a very cluttered closet.
  • gingersoul said on Mar 25, 2007....
    Tin...i am glad your dinner was good...i had grilled tuna steak with lemon and oil of olive.....to the next one...:-)
  • beyondtheveil said on Mar 25, 2007....
  • TinSoldier said on Mar 25, 2007....
    Thanks, ginger. Tuna steak sounds good but unfortunately the rest of my family doesn't appreciate fish (other than deep-fried) very well...
  • pixiegirl2 said on Mar 25, 2007....
    i should be studying for my pre-finals now, got lot of work to do, but here i am in front of the comp, i just can't get enough of it.

I should be researching real jobs... but I escape as usual its so easy into the world of La Fea mas bella or stuff that I like to read I have a messy desk a cluttered closet,,, I dont think of myself as a failure but Im not satisfied with myself
  • polarheart said on Mar 25, 2007....
    I should be doing the paperwork for my part-time job. The good thing about the computer at the library is that you have to log in with special codes and it restricts you to 1 hour a day. Since my internet connection at home is down I have to come here to do a very quick catch up. I have 16 mins left on the computer and then will be allowed no more time on any of the computers (aaaah). But, its good because then I can get down and do what I really SHOULD be doing! hahaha I miss all the peeps at SC! Cant wait to be back! Polar x
  • Alyss said on Mar 25, 2007....
    Right now I should probably be doing housework. That's in addition to the laundry I'm already working through.

    What I want to be doing is getting some of my ideas onto paper but every time i try my mind goes blank.
  • momsrock said on Mar 25, 2007....
    It's 11 am and we're all still in pj's.... so i should be taking a shower and giving the kids baths so i can actually get something done today. But I'm just too tired to do anything!! :)
  • GrapeKoolaid said on Mar 25, 2007....
    I should be working right now.....  But I'm rather resentful that I have to work on a Sunday, so I'm dragging my feet. 
     
     
    What I'd rather be doing is to enjoy this beautiful sun-shiny day.  What I'd rather be doing is working on my bike. 
  • MissMimi said on Mar 25, 2007....
    What I should be doing are some of the household chores that are piling up. And I should be finishing the quilt I'm going to try to sell online. And I should be figuring out what I'm cooking for dinner. (Both kids will be here. Yay!) Too many shoulds. I didn't get to sleep til about 5 a.m. so I'm tired. So here I sit in bed, with the laptop. *sigh*
  • Zayda said on Mar 25, 2007....
    I should be finding something to eat for lunch. I fixed lunch for the little man, but I can't think of a thing I want.
  • D6fer said on Mar 25, 2007....
    should be doing what I didn't do yesterday....I've got to pull myself away from this addiction!
  • TinSoldier said on Mar 25, 2007....
    Damn, I was just going to say exactly what D6fer said...

    I should have got off of the computer earlier than I did last night...
  • gingersoul said on Mar 25, 2007....
    Tin and D6...yes, we should...but....who are we fooling?....:-D
  • TinSoldier said on Mar 25, 2007....
    I'm not doing today what I didn't do yesterday...
  • Alyss said on Mar 26, 2007....
    lol! Sadly I am now faced with even more housework but at least the kitchen & bathrooms are now clean.
  • LadyGamer said on Mar 26, 2007....

    I am actually writing today. And doing well, if I may say so.

    My poor characters have been in limbo forever!

  • MissMimi said on Mar 26, 2007....
    since I got very little sleep, what I should be doing is sleeping, but I heard the siren's call of SoulCast and I couldn't resist it.
  • Zayda said on Mar 26, 2007....
    I should not be feeling like crap so that I could be doing what I need to be doing.
  • blastfromthepast said on Mar 29, 2007....
    I should be making coffee so I can take a breather from soulcasting and go outside for a smoke.  It's 12:12am, and sleep should be considered, too....eventually.  But, I have the urge to cook up a pork tenderloin, too.
