i'm finally beginning to feel better - even in the face of my wall-cave-in-catastrophe.
perhaps its because i am in a place that nurtured me from birth, around women who have cared for me since they've known me. my mother's kitchen is a welcoming place, so no wonder my love of cooking is slowly coming back.
on tonight's menu: herb-crusted pork loin, bacon and mozzarella mashed potatoes, and veggies
playlist - itunes genius mix based on "love ultra" by dwele

crusting the pork loin - salt, pepper, and ... seasonings. i cook by smell, so i just grab, sprinkle, and smell. mixed a little wine and water and poured beneath, so it has something to hydrate it while baking.
