Well, I would call this recipe a success...a relatively simple success. The hardest part was my forgetting the English language and mis-reading the instructions once or twice...when I returned to planet earth, all went much more smoothly. The recipe is called Kay's Pork Strips and I got the idea to make this off of Ducky's blog (thanks Ducky!) It only took me two trips to the grocery store and one "borrowed" item to make! I think next time I might add more liquid...I think maybe a splash of pineapple juice might be a nice addition. Also...what's this bit about 1/4 of a chili pepper??! I can't even taste it! I actually put in a whole chili pepper and still can't really taste it. OK, so I like things hot. Next time maybe I'll add an extra one for good measure! I'm wondering if my chili peppers were much smaller than Kay's...mine are only about 2" in length. Once I got it all cooked up (took NO time at all!), I decided I had to take a picture of it :-) Now...what to put it in? I don't have an extensive dish collection - I have my corel dishes...some plastic bowls...my stainless mixing bowls...none would work for this occasion! Finally I remembered I had "one of those gifts" up high on a shelf. A former co-worker had given it to me and I'd thought..."hmm, that's nice, but what in the world will I use it for?!" Up on the shelf it went. Well, today folks, you see what it's purpose will be in my house...photo ops!Stay tuned for the "Upside Down Tanya" story...coming soon to a blog near you!

Love the dishes! So, did you actually like it or what?!
Yup, like it. Leftovers tonight were even better. Fried up the leftover pork with some leftover rice and added some red pepper flakes and some sea salt/garlic from a new grinder I bought at superstore...yummy. Glad you like the dishes...you could be seeing a lot of them since they're my only "fancy" dishes! Well, other than my good china...
