YUMMY Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches!!!!!

My parents are from Indiana and every time we would go up there we would go get these amazing pork tenderloin sandwiches that were bigger than the plate.  I love these suckers and last night some friends of ours who are also from Indiana and Christi and I made pork tenderloin sandwiches.  We used an egg and milk free recipe since her husband is allergic but they came out fantastic.  Ours were smaller because the tenderloin I bought turned out to be cut in half even though in the package it looked like one cut. 

Here is the recipe:

2lbs boneless pork loin
2 cups flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black peper
8 large sandwich buns

-cut 4in slices of pork and trim any fat
-butterfly each slice so that they are connected only by a thin piece of meat
-tenderize until about 10in across
-mix breading together
-heat 1/2 in oil in a deep wide skillet (i used a 15in cast iron skillet and since ours were not as big I was able to cook about 4 at a time) to 365
-dip the pork in water then in the breading mixture
-fry until golden brown on both sides (about 5 min each side)

Top it with some lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup and mayo and enjoy.

I love Libraries!

As a rule I only check out library books if I am desperate to read a particular book because I am a germaphobe.

But just recently I discovered a whole new way to check out books.  I can check out ebooks and side load them to my nook.  At first I thought it was going to be difficult and a pain in the but its SO SIMPLE! 

I have found 2 libraries, the Alachua County Library which is in my home town and the Jacksonville Public Library, that allow you to apply for an ecard online so I have been checking them out as fast as I can read them. 

As soon as we have a house up in Virginia Beach I will go the the library up there and get a library card so I can check ebooks out from their library because they seem to have a larger selection of ebooks. 

I am still in love with my Nook.

1 month till moving day!

So we are just one month till moving day or the day we become temporarily homeless.   Sounds fun right?

The first time we were homeless what about 7 months after we got married and moved from Beaufort,Sc to Twentynine Palms, Ca.  Lets just say that it was a very stressful time for me and leave it at that.

The move back to Beaufort want as bad because we had the address to our new house before the movers even loaded our household goods onto the truck.  This time we will not be able to just walk in and take keys to base housing so we will have to live in a motel for a few days while we look for a house. 

My wonderful dad will once again be helping us with the move as he has done for all past moves.  It really helps to have an extra adult when there are small children involved.  He will be able to sit in at the hotel or in the van while we house hunt and this way he will drive Clay's truck so he can ride with us in the van to help change movies and pass out snacks and drinks along the way. 

I am getting excited to live somewhere new. I am really looking forward to checking out their local library and getting a card as soon as we get an address so that I can check out Ebooks from their site.

I am still not sure about this whole Marine on a Naval base thing but I am sure we will figure it out fast enough.
