Going to work might be less work!

Busting more buttocks today.

Spent an hour lounging in bed, reading various articles and simply enjoying the rare occurrence.

Started computer format (redoing the drives finally). Started dinner, cleaned catbox, dumped all the water out of the totes I'd set outside yesterday (not knowing it was going to downpour). Checked on fungi (see below) and had to move raspberry pot away from house: no gutters, and the edge of the pot was hammered by a stream of rain off the roof all night. Missed the sprout by inches, or it'd have broken. Placed it under the tree for now.

Put away most of the laundry (ongoing process, it's hung all over the house willy-nilly). Stripped, vacuumed, redressed mattress.

Dinner:
Balsamic honey pork tenderloin, over (Jonagold) apples. Will serve with baby carrots. Probably plain, since I'm not sure what herbs won't make the carrots participate in overwhelming the whole meal with spices.

I found two recipes online I wanted to make, Bavarian Pork Tenderloin and Honey Glazed Tenderloin. I decided to combine and alter the two.

Ingredients:
1.5lb pork tenderloin
1/3 cup honey
1 tbsp Worcester sauce.
1 tbsp Splenda brown sugar (or 2tbsp b.sugar)
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar.
1 large (red) apple.

Preheat to 450.
Slice apple about 0.5cm thick, layer in 13x9 lined with foil and sprayed lightly with oil. Cook tenderloin for 15 minutes. Combine other ingredients.
Reduce heat to 350, baste tenderloin with half of honey mixture. Cook 25minutes.
Baste with rest of mixture. Cook 20minutes or until cooked all the way through.
Recommend letting loin rest 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow the glaze to thicken. Serve with some of the glazed apple slices.

Fungi!
Some cool fungi popped up in the yard last night. I didn't notice it was fungi at first, as it looked like a small cluster of yellow, oblong, 1"long fruits, possibly fallen from the small palm frond they lay under. I meant to go peak at them, wish I had. Four to five hours later they were a cluster (about 5" by 6") of cream colored orbs, topped with tan dots at their apex, and looking as if they were fusing together. I photo'd them, quarter for scale.

The next morning (it rained all night) I checked on them: the base of their heads are flaring out, looking a little jagged as if the gills are too long. Two-to-three hours later they appear the same but are yellowing significantly, probably from the heat.

I posted it to the Project Noah.
Habitat: Sod grass, next to black garden mulch, under young palm?frond tree. Often sprinklers, no rain for over a week.
