Roast Pork with Mustard Sauce
We decided to make this for our European tour themed progressive dinner on Saturday. So I wanted a practice run just to prepare for the big day and it is Thursday. It is really an outstanding dinner and not too hard to make, but is really decadent, so it can't be an every day dinner. We had it with mashed potatoes this time; we thought it would be a good side for the upcoming dinner, and this was the test run. It worked really well. Sorry for all the short posts, I am a month behind.
