I gave in and let my husband take me to the Asian buffet close to our house. I've learned, mostly by trial and error, what I can eat there. They have a Mongolian grill--you can choose your ingredients and watch them cook it. Shrimp, vegetables, and egg with no sauce works for me.

I like those grills. I can load up with (good) veggies and meat. I've even asked for sauce on the side and dipped the meat and vegetable pieces in the little cup for some flavor without too much of a carb hit.

We used to have a Mongolian Grill about 40 miles away. I'd eaten there once and liked it a lot. It didn't survive the Covid lockdowns. We also lost a nearby Western Sizzler for the same reason.

I've always liked Western Sizzler. I need to find the closest one to me.

We went to Golden Corral earlier this week and had a good lunch. I used to go there often, but it's been about 10-15 years.

I put a pork loin in the crockpot early this morning with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and Italian seasoning. It turned out well.

That sounds good, etherea. I have a pork roast sitting in the fridge (not a loin) and I'll think about giving it that treatment.

We're having the leftovers today. I also added a little broth just because I thought it needed a little more moisture.

 

[itissteve]

Etherea, I'm using your recipe! Except instead of the olive oil I'm using soy sauce, instead of the balsamic vinegar I'm using Worcestershire sauce, instead of the garlic I'm using liquid smoke, and instead of the Italian seasoning I'm using salt.

I think I'll know in 8-9 hours which recipe I prefer. 🤣

We had pork loin for supper last night. BH quarters both the loins and puts them in the crock pot in the morning with a whole stick of butter, a package of Lipton Recipe Secrets Onion Mushroom, sprinkles in some Webster Garlic and Herb seasoning, and some chicken broth. When its time to eat that night, she just shreds it in the crockpot. Yep, leftovers here today too, but for supper/dinner. Edit: May put it on a Keto hamburger bun with some G Hughes BBQ sauce. One of the best pulled pork sammiches I ever ate.

First time we had it, we found the loins in a two pack, it was so good, but a couple of days worth of leftovers. Next time she was going to fix it, she bought a package with a single loin. At the time we didn't realize that loin and tender loin were not the same thing. We've made sure it was loin ever since.
