Spiced Pork Tenderloin with Sauteed Apples from the November 2012 Cooking Light--we give this a 3, would be a 4 with a little less salt and cooking the meat a tad less, served with Golden Beet Carpaccio from the April 2007 Bon Appétit. (look at the beautiful beets in the photo--right out of the garden!!) We give this a 3 as well--the onions were a but too hot, and there was too much of the green salad, but this would be a 4 with tiny changes!

Wine: Vouvray de Gautiers 2003. This was the last bottle of this we had, and was really quite good in spite of its age!
