Summer

Wonderful day, weatherwise. The lake looks fabulous, with sailing ships dancing back and forth across it, while a gentle breeze keeps things pleasant and cool. If it were like this all year, I'd have no complaint.

I cooked some pork tenderloin today with rosemary and garlic. Good stuff, very easy to prepare. Put some extra-virgin olive oil in a bowl with the rosemary and chopped fresh garlic, add a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper. Put the tenderloin in there and roll it in the seasonings and oil to coat. Then set on a pan and cook for 30 minutes at 375 degrees F, which should be enough to cook it -- check to be sure it's opaque, not pink, and you're golden. Should be tender, juicy, and delicious! Leftovers are great on sandwiches.

This is my 200th post. Tonight I hope to catch some glimpses of the Perseid meteor shower. It's a clear night. We'll see. Or not. Tomorrow should be a good night for it, too, if you miss it tonight. If you live in a dark place, look and hope to see!

I made a poem half-inspired by it.
