Friends

Day 4- Today I'm thankful for good friends. We've started something fun with some friends of ours recently. (Beth and Travs and their kids ages 9,7 and 4). We get together on Sundays for dinner and games after church. We started this a few weeks and it is lots of fun. We rotate houses. Tonight, it was at our house. I cooked some pork tenderloins with my homemade applesauce, a little water and herbs de provence. Oh.my.word! It was fabulous. It melted like butter in my mouth. I made some delish gravy too with the left over juice that was left behind along with some more applesauce and herbs mixed with some cornstarch to thicken it. Wow! It was one of my favorite gravy's I've made. I guess you could say I'm pretty proud with the outcome. Note to self: Don't forget to write this recipe down! I also made some garlic mashed potatoes in 6 minutes in my fabulous pressure cooker. ;) (No, I haven't named her yet. Sorry sil's!) Anyway...back to the meal...my friend made a perfect salad with feta, candied nuts and little cubed apples. (It's like she was on my wave link and new what would balance out perfectly) Bonus: All kids chowed it. Then we ended the night with some blondies with ice cream, made by my friend, while we played, The Game of Life. Overall, a very fun evening. Can't wait till next Sunday.
I am very thankful for the friends we have and are continuing to make.
