Meal No. 1242: Bacon-Wrapped Pork Filet Mignons


It's a pretty regular feature of life in the Roediger House that there will be fantastic people around the dinner table once an evening meal is being served up, but tonight was extra special. For the first time ever, I had both my sisters (Janice from down on the coast, and Allison from Indiana) here. We also had Edna Green, who's been best friends with Janice since they entered 9th grade together at Buies Creek High School...and who lives less than two blocks away from me here in downtown Winston-Salem.

I went right back to the bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin filet mignons that I tried for the first time less than two weeks ago, and they were good yet again. We also had smashed sweet potatoes and a mess of buttered peas. Folks seemed to enjoy it, and all-in-all, it was simply a wonderful evening.

Glad to hear it, Raymond. Both my sisters and a sister-in-law showed up at the house on Saturday for Hunter's birthday gathering... made a real good time even better.
