=====================
Pita chips: There were some day old packages of pita bread on sale
at half price (400 grams for $1.00) so I grabbed two of them. Last
weekend I peeled each loaf apart into two thin layers and then cut a
stack of them into 8 wedges each. Got out the deep fryer and fried
them up in small batches at 365 F until they were crisp and browned.
Salted them as they came out of the fryer and left them to cool in a
large metal bowl lined with paper towels. Results? Chips as tasty
as the commercial ones, with no chemical additives and about half
the salt for less than 1/4 of the price. I also did a few stale
tortillas that were hanging around the kitchen while the oil was hot
and made nachos.

Navajo tacos: these are merely your typical ground beef tacos
but served up in "Indian" fry bread. Instead of standard fry bread
or bannock we use yeasted basic white bread dough. Dough balls get
flattened out into pancake shapes then shallow fried in oil in a
cast iron skillet one at a time. Roslind's family call them "dough
gods". Load them up while they are still hot and enjoy!

Pork tenderloins two ways: another supermarket special ($6.60 per kg
or $3.00/lb) but one had to buy a "club sized package" of four of
them. I did an oil and sausage spice rub on two of them, seared them
in a cast iron skillet and roasted them briefly at 300 F until
medium done. We ate one with potatoes, kraut and spiced apples,
froze one for later. The other two got marinaded overnight in a
homemade teriyaki sauce, then roasted with frequent basting. We
sliced one up to serve over steamed rice with stir fried greens and
again froze the second one.

Now that the weather has warmed up I will grill not pan sear and
oven roast pork tenderloins the next time I see them on special like
that.
