Kids Party Idea and Tasty Barbecued Pork Tenderloin
Movie Viewing for Cheetah Girls One World Premier
The girly gatherings around the Disney movie releases have been so fun that we're having one ourselves for the August 22 premier of the One World movie featuring the Cheetah Girls on the Disney Channel. Similar to the parties held for the Miley Cyrus Best of Both Worlds 3D and High School Musical 2, we'll have the girls over for pizza and a craft and then they'll settle in for the big show. This movie takes place in Bollywood instead of Hollywood and the Cheetah Girls will be wearing lovely, traditional Indian clothes for the big finale.
So based on that, the girls at our party will be making their own saris for their craft! Using the simple instructions found online (http://www.wikihow.com/Dress-in-a-Sari), we are going to transform 4 yards of tulle into a cute mock-saris for each girl. (Since tulle is only about $1 per yard, it was the obvious choice albeit a see-through one. The girls will be wearing their shorts and t-shirts under it anyway). We'll finish it off with a pin from the Dollar Store and make sure to take lots of pictures.
Pork Tenderloin and Tomato, Vidalia Salad
I haven't been doing much original cooking lately as most of my stand-by favorites are the summer salads featured on my website. I did, however, use a variation of one of the favorites last weekend to make a tasty meat and salad combination.
Tomato, Vidalia Salad Ingredients:
1 package plum tomatoes, chopped (for extra color, use yellow and red tomatoes)
1/2 small vidalia onion, chopped
1/2 cup vinegar (I used a garlic and oil vinegar found at regular grocers)
6 T olive oil
1 T minced garlic
1 T fresh basil, chopped, cut or ripped
salt and pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients. After a half hour or more, pour off the liquid into a large ziploc bag and place the pork loin in the marinade. Marinade 1/2 hour or more in the refrigerator. Grill tenderloin 10-15 minutes (depending on size - until the juices run clear and the meat is firm). Serve with the salad as a garnish.
