dinner recipe, videos, pics, oh my!

Here was our dinner last night, it was yummy:

Guava-Glazed Pork Tenderloin with Cilantro-Jalapeno Salsa

pork:
1 T veg oil
1 or 2 T minced onion
1 garlic clove, minced
7 ounces guava paste, chopped (comes in rectangular packets in the Mexican aisle, could probably also sub apricot jam, etc.)
1/2 cup water
1 T soy sauce
1 T ketchup
1 t cayenne
2 3/4-pound pork tenderloins

salsa:
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
a bit of vegetable oil (to get everything wet; they called for 1/3 cup but I used a lot less)
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup minced onion
2 T chopped chives (we used because we had in the garden, but these aren't necessary at all. I mean, chives don't actually have any flavor...)
2 jalapenos, minced (all depends on hotness; I used one seeded and minced, and 1 unseeded and minced)
1 garlic clove, minced

to make pork:
Heat oil in small saucepan. Add onion and garlic and cook until soft, a few minutes. Add guava paste and water and cook, stirring, until paste has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Stir in soy sauce, ketchup, and cayenne.
Brush pork tenderloins with glaze, broil or grill until done, applying glaze as necessary. Top with remaining glaze.

to make salsa:
In a bowl, mix the cilantro, oil, vinegar, onion, chives, jalapenos, and garlic.

Slice pork. Serve with salsa. We ate with baby carrots from the garden and broccoli rabe.

A few cute videos:

This is Evangeline standing on her own. She thinks it's fun:





This is an old video (from June 2nd) but Jon and I find it really hilarious...




Lastly, Evangeline knows something good is in that Dr. Pepper can, but she doesn't really have the concept down yet...




Lastly, here are some pics, a few from July on our camera, the rest from around here...
