No Girls Allowed Pork Tenderloin

Okay, so this is weird. Normally when I cook a pork tenderloin I either broil it or put it on the grill whole, usually with an apricot preserves/Dijon marinade and it is quite tasty. But that Alice is such a cut-up, she wanted me to slice the pork up into medallions first, dredge in flour and cook. Then add brandy to the pan and light it on fire - awesome. What follows is basically a pan gravy reduction with stock and butter and then the apricots at the end , which is similar to something I do with thin pork chops, red grapes, rosemary, butter and red wine. Anyway, no matter how you slice it, quite delicious.



Episode Note: "A Clubhouse is Not a Home" Another first season boys v. girls, battle of the sexes, will this group somehow form a family episodes. This time, the girls are upset because the boys have a backyard clubhouse that has denied them entry based solely on sex. Carol pleads the girls case to Mike, who sides with the boys saying sometimes men just need a place of their own (apparently an early version of the man-cave). The girls protest with picket signs to no avail. Then, Carol and the girls in a "We Can Do It" show of force, set out to build their own backyard sanctuary. Of course, they fail miserably and the men have to come to their rescue and show them how it's done. In the end, women's equality suffered a set back by this display. I  no longer wonder why the ERA never passed.  My advice for the Brady women is the next time they think  "Yes, We Can" they should  do us all a favor and "Just Say No."
