For the time being we are camped out near Quartzsite, AZ . The vegetation is different than near Holtville, CA, lots of Saguaro cacti that give a great photo motive.
January is the month where many winter campers gather here in the desert of Arizona to the visit flee-markets, vendors and RV-shows.
We use the occasion mainly to visit with friends and fellow bloggers who happen to be in the area.
Close by we found the winter "homes" of
Toni and Doug,
Sandi and Jim,
Teri and Jerry, and
Denise.
Yesterday we met with
Jim and, today we visited with
Al and Kelly.
Amazing how many great people we learned to know through boon-docking and through blogging.
Before we went to Quartzsite, AZ our refrigerator was stocked up and, today was the day were I had to do something with the pork loin.
I saved half of the seasoning mix that was meant to be on the Christmas ham.
I guessed that if this was good enough for a ham, it might be good for the pork loin as well.
So I used a generous portion of the seasoning to cover the pork loin from all sides, heated the oven up to 375 °F and roasted the meat for about 35 minutes. It turned out very well.
While the meat was cooking I cubed a sweet potato and two white ones, boiled the pieces for 10 minutes and then fried the cubes in a little oil until done.
For vegetables we had steamed cabbage and some kale.
