This was the first pork tenderloin I've had in a while and it was disappointing. The coating was flavorful but it didn't penetrate the meat. The meat was rather bland but I'm not sure if that is the fault of the recipe or the pork. I wish I had cooked it a bit longer since even though I know it's safe these days, pink pork isn't my thing.
I've been on such a good roll but these past couple of recipes haven't been anything thrilling.
I barely got a wink of sleep last night between the two boys and I don't think I can form one more sentence. Let's hope the week improves.

I have to say the last tenderloin I had wasn't to good either. I usually prefer pork roast. I have had much better results.
