About

There is nothing more wonderful and great that to have a house full of friends and children and to enjoy a meal together. I am very fortunate to have  wonderful friends that we all share the same passion of cooking and eating.
Tonight I had my wonderful friend Laura and her son over for dinner. Laura is a photographer and therefore tonight she had fun taking the pictures.  Her and I have the same Canon EOS 50D camera, however she has better lenses than me. After all she is a professional photographer…We had fun interchanging her lenses on my camera body and playing with the setting.  
Dinner was coming along as we were enjoying a great glass of Chardonnays. Roasted vegetables, roasted potatoes with pork tenderloin.  Fresh mangoes and strawberries for dessert..
TIP:  I like to place the skillet with the pork tenderloins in the hot oven for a few minutes to insure that it is cooked all the way.
