Pepper-Crusted Pork Loin (p9 Fall 2010 Entertaining), roasted carrots and potatoes
Even though this ended up just being ok, it's really my fault. Because the pork was not completely thawed (I took it out late), when I made it, I had to cook it for fart to long for the carrots and potatoes. I also had boiling potatoes and not baking potatoes. So the occasional potato was a bit, tough but some of the carrots and potatoes were over cooked. Oh well. It was a good idea. I knew I should've gotten some different potatoes.
Basil Pesto on Pasta on Toast
Shannon seemed to like it...I though it was too basily. Maybe it was the basil I used. It still turned out pretty well, I suppose. It was also relatively easy to make.
Zucchini Pancakes with Basil Chive Cream
This was actually good. After having suggestions of sweet things (cake, bread, etc), I figure making a meal out of it would probably be a better thing. So the process of making the basil chive cream was interrupted a bit by discovering I had used all my basil. So I added more chives. It ended up being a lightly green tinged sour cream after I was done. but even so, it turned out pretty well. The zucchini pancakes were actually pretty good. Topped with or without the chive cream. they tasted pretty good. Although, the chive sour cream does look kinda gross (not pictured). I think they'd make a good appetizer, though they do take a bit of effort to make.

Turkey Breast Sandwiches
Pound pound pound pound. Sauté, flip, sauté, rest, slice. Use a bit of chive sour cream and a bit more of the sandwichy stuff. Put it all on some sliced ciabatta. Now that's a sandwich!
