From a commercial on tv and from my initial interest in the dish but lack of commitment to actually make it, hubby took over the reins from me. He made Philadelphia pork which is basically an oven pork dish coated in a type of herb butter from the Philadelphia brand which is famous in Holland. He slices the pork fillet into half, marinates it overnight and on the next day spreads the butter inside the pork just like one would do a sandwich. He then cuts bell peppers and adds them inside the tin foil together with the pork. Then it goes into the oven for forty five minutes at 180'C.
The dish is delicious and I feel like I'm having a meal in a Michelin starred restaurant. The sauce from the marinade is delicious and the pork is all buttery with a distinct herb taste.
It is a joy to be eating this meal. I didn't think that from butter you could get a delicious dish. Of course it's fattening but I will overlook this for now. Good things come with a cost; hence the saying "you can never have too much of a good thing", if this interpretation is right. You must strive for less and in moderation. Thus eating = living.
Or maybe it means the other way round - you can never have too much of something good because it is always getting better and better. It means that you can have more of it and appreciate what you have! Thus living = eating. Not bad at all I would say and definitely easier to follow.
wow...this must be good stuff even by the name of the dish... *drool*
