Nothing says "Christmas..."

...like a backed up sewer. Waiting for the plumbers to get here. At least it was today, and not one of those overtime holidays.

Well...

The sewer is un-clogged.

I've got pork tenderloin trimmed and in an apple-maple brine.

I've got some chopped prunes and dried apricots soaking in gin.

Should make for a really good roast (or grilled) pork tenderloin.
