UNtil I had to stop eating pork a year ago because of health reasons, that article was my go-to in terms of understanding how not to dry out pork. I still use the tips when I eat chicken breast too :)Valerie at City|Life|Eatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12348802292480366382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250624041870127795.post-71111159618394612162010-06-09T11:34:51.806-04:002010-06-09T11:34:51.806-04:00You've convinced me to do something my mother ...You've convinced me to do something my mother has never been able to...try borscht!
