There's nothing like winning a tournament championship after a successful season. Especially when it comes at the expense of your rival school on their home court.
After winning the regular season title in the Castle Valley Athletic Association, the Helper Junior High boys basketball team wanted to make it two for two by winning the tournament championship. In a hard fought game between Mont Harmon Junior High and HJH, Helper pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 61-52 victory in the title game.
Mont Harmon led at halftime 28-24 before Helper made a run in the third quarter to take the lead 38-37 going into the fourth quarter.
Helper's Jackie Byrge, an eighth grader, jump started a run hitting a number of three's from the left corner helping the Rams extend a lead that Mont Harmon would never recover from.
"There's nothing better than this," said HJH coach Jack Byrge of beating their rival for a championship.
"We worked really hard all season long for this," he said.
Despite being down for most of the first half and into the third quarter, the Rams remained calm waiting for an opportunity to seize control of the game.
"It's what we do," Byrge said of the team taking control late in the game. "Playing in our system, it's hard to beat us. The boys know how to play down the stretch in games."
After the game, Helper players and coaches climbed a ladder for the celebratory cutting down of the net. As each player and coach cut a piece of the net, it was the culmination of a 7-1 finish, including a conference and tournament championship.
Add to that, a season sweep of rival Mont Harmon, and things feel really good for the players and coaches of Helper.
"Going undefeated was our goal heading into the season," Byrge said. Helper's only loss came against San Rafael earlier this season. But they were able to gain a measure of revenge by defeating San Rafael to advance to the championship game on Wednesday night.
The title is the Rams' second in two years, Byrge said, which is a reflection of the hard work by the players and coaches.

NORWOOD - A workers compensation claim has led to new rules and regulations at the Norwood Fire Department, but some firefighters say those rules are too strict and may leave the future of the organization in jeopardy.
Department members will soon carry ID cards listing their qualifications, and the departments fire hall will be off-limits to all non-active members. Village trustees voted in favor of the new regulations last month.
According to Mayor James H. McFaddin, the changes are necessary because of an accident at the fire hall which led to a workers compensation claim against the village. Norwood expects to pay over $114,000 in workers compensation expenses next year, more than half of which is the result of this accident.
Mr. McFaddin and fire department personnel would not disclose the specifics surrounding the incident because of confidentiality restrictions.
The new regulations will reduce risk of future incidents, Mr. McFaddin said.
Were trying to protect ourselves as best we can, he said.
Some fire department officials see the crackdown as draconian.
Were not optimistic. Most of the people who have been here for 20 years plus are ready to walk, said department treasurer and former chief Timothy F. Donahue.
The department is currently renegotiating its contract, as it does every year, and it may be limited to having only 45 active members instead of the usual 60, he said.
Most galling, he said, is the restriction on who is allowed in the fire hall.
Retired members visit often to have a cup of coffee and chat with the firefighters, an option that may no longer be available, he said.
Its just cruel, and I dont know why he would do such a thing, he said.
Assistant Chief Tina Garrow painted the situation in a better light, saying the restrictions have been blown out of proportion.
Right now, we are working things out with the village of Norwood. We had a meeting on Sunday, and everything is really good, she said.
We are not kicking our members out, we are not being dissolved.
These reassurances mean little to Mr. Donahue, who said he and other department members will soon seek legal action against the mayor and the village.
Hes making things awfully difficult for the fire department, Mr. Donahue said.
Mr. McFaddin said the cost of future accidents would be too much for the villages meager budget to sustain. The department is in no immediate danger, he said, but without cutting costs it may not have a long future.
The village supports 80 percent of the departments budget, but of only 30 percent of calls to which the department responds are inside the village, he said.
Long-term it may not be possible to sustain a village fire department, he said.

OGDENSBURG Picking students up after school has gotten more complicated for many parents as construction continues at Kennedy Elementary School and members of the administration are asking for patience.
With most students exiting the building through the new main entrance, near the intersection of Plover Hill and Jersey Avenue, the already long line of cars full of parents waiting to pick up their children is now competing with construction vehicles and contractors parking their own vehicles on the way to the work site.
Currently the primary construction site is along Jersey Avenue with crews mixing concrete and operating heavy machinery behind large fence barricades.
The school is in the middle of a $19.1 million construction project in which a new addition has been built and which will include various upgrades throughout the building as the completion date, next summer, draws nearer.
Ogdensburg City School District Superintendent Timothy M. Vernsey said he has received complaints from some parents about the congestion, but asked for patience and understanding.
Once we get [construction] out of there, by the end of the (school) year it should work out just fine, he said. In the meantime it is congested.
Furthermore, Mr. Vernsey said, the high-density traffic zones may change as construction crews move from place to place on the building.
Its in constant flux because as they are doing different thing they are required to park in different areas, Mr. Vernsey said. Theres not much we can do about it right now. Be very watchful; be cautious.
Kennedy Elementary School Assistant Principal Jacquelyn L. Kelly said the fundamental problem is the on-going construction. Were going to see if any adjustments can be made.
During the next several days, representatives from the district will be meeting with contractors to figure out a way to ease the pick-up process for parents.
Everything from the dismissal schedule to where students are let out is being considered, Mr. Vernsey said.
When the project is complete, Mr. Vernsey said, parents will be rewarded with a much easier pick-up routine.
Students will be let out at different exit points, depending on their grade level and buses will be concentrated to the loop on Park Street, Mr. Vernsey said.
Until then Mr. Vernsey asked parents to be patient and slow down.

Highlights From the Archives
Hoping to Draw New Music From a Novelist's Old Poems
Before he became famous for his novels and screenplays, Paul Auster wrote poetry full of elusive imagery and observations that varied from the spooky to the amusingly and philosophically inarguable. Once he turned his attention to prose, 25 years ago, he left poetry behind.September 14, 2004 artsReview
Just Cuddle Up With a Novel And Read a Movie
In this novel, Hector's pranks, pratfalls and double takes, his signature gestures, are so vivid that a reader begins to believe that he and his films really exist instead of being creations of Paul Auster's filmic imagination.October 14, 2002 artsNews
Shamed by Excess, Then Shamed by Too Little
"Hand to Mouth,'' Paul Auster's memoir about his early days as a struggling writer, describes a period in his life when he says everything he touched ''turned to failure.'' ''My marriage ended in divorce,'' he writes, ''my work as a writer foundered, and I was overwhelmed by money problems'' -- a ''constant, grinding, almost suffocating lack of money that poisoned my soul and kept me in a state of never-ending panic.''September 2, 1997 artsReview

When Paul Auster creates his characters for novels and the screen, a chance meeting, a chance phone call often changes the course of a life. Just the sort of thing that happens to Paul Auster, too.October 5, 1995 moviesBiography
A Picaresque Search for Father and for Self
In an idiosyncratic memoir (''The Invention of Solitude''), published in 1983, Paul Auster probed his relationship with his late father, and he established the themes that would later animate his fiction: paternity and its effect on a child's sense of self; the consequences of solitude; the limitations of language, and the roles of randomness and causality in the world.March 7, 1989 artsReview
Inward Gaze of a Private Eye
For mystery fans whose pleasure in the genre consists in putting together puzzle pieces, Paul Auster's glassy little jigsaws can be seductive. His plots - decorated with death threats and ''dark-eyed'' women and all the other private-eye flotsam - draw one in like those of any other page-turner. But once the door bangs shut, the clue-sniffing reader finds himself on a swift elevator to a loftier plane.January 4, 1987 artsReview

Rodarte for Grey Magazine - Slide 1The sisters choose their beauty collaborators based on their brilliant creative teams and innovative products. "They allow us to achieve all of our beauty ideas," said the Mulleavys. "We work with Odile Gilbert [for Kerastase] on the hair concepts for our shows and on special projects like the Don Giovanni opera. She creates with such artistry and beauty and she constantly inspires us."

Rodarte for Grey Magazine - Slide 2Though they usually work with James Karliardos on their shows--"He is really incredibly talented and approaches makeup in a painterly manner that is delicate, yet complex."--the Mulleavys welcomed Uzo on set.
"Kate and Laura wanted the models to look like they went to bed with their makeup on, woke up the next morning, and looked amazing," Uzo said. So she used Nars' Single Eyeshadow ($24) in Bengali. "It's a really rich mahogany matte eye shadow that is sometimes too pigmented for the average woman," she says. "So I would recommend Nars' Duo Eyeshadow ($34) in Cordura, which has the same depth and rich mahogany shade, but with a little shimmer, so it's easier to blend."

Rodarte for Grey Magazine - Slide 3"The look we were going for was glamorous, soft, and beautiful hair that was set--but the next day," said Jeffrey Jagling, Kerastase's National Artist. "So it's fuzzy, yet still elegant and beautiful, with a weathered, worn look to it.
"Kate and Laura wanted that look of day or two-day-old hair when the oils have set in," Jagling said. So he used Kerastase's Nectar Thermique ($41) to prep the wet hair and then blew it out with a round brush. After drying, he worked in a "generous amount" of Kerastase's Elixir Ultime ($54) "to make the hair look dewy. "

Rodarte for Grey Magazine - Slide 4"We are going back to the '90s with the lip look," Uzo said. Instead of a wine-colored lip, she used Nars' Sheer Lipstick ($24) in Vendanges "to get a beautiful mahogany brown with an undertone of pink."

Rodarte for Grey Magazine - Slide 5"One of the coolest aspects of working with Kerastase and Nars is getting to experiment with new products during the shows and then integrating the ideas and looks into our everyday beauty routines," said the Mulleavys. "Right now we love Kerastase Resistance Double Force Hairspray ($39) and Nars Blush ($28) in Gaiety!"

EUR-USD traded above 1.1400 for the first time since Sept-18, leaving a high at 1.1411. The pair has been underpinned since last week's dovish-leaving FOMC minutes. The minutes have seen the odds for rate lift-off by year-end lengthen, which has kept the dollar on a back foot, though the ECB has kept the door open to a possible expansion in its QE program, and this should curtail upside potential.

The dollar remained under the cosh versus its G3 peers while gaining against the commodity currencies as the recent risk-on spell turned sour, with commodity prices and most stock markets in the EMEA and Asian regions turning south today. China trade data spoiled the risk-on party as it showed a sharp 17.7% y/y dive imports in September, accelerating from August's 14.3% y/y decline.

Commodity currencies have come off the boil as a bigger-than-anticipated dive in China imports disquieted investors, resulting in lower stock markets across Asia, along with softer commodity prices. While September trade data out of China showed a record surplus in yuan terms, this was not the case in dollar terms, and the 17.7% y/y dive in imports commanded most attention as the data suggest that demand conditions in China are flagging.

The Ugliest Cars at SEMA 2013
Price: $27
Anyone who's ever worked on a car has run into a situation in which they can't fit a ratchet wrench onto a bolt. (And by the way, who designs stuff like that?). GearWrench's new gimbal ratchet solves that problem in a couple of different ways. First, it fits in the palm of your hand, so it can squeeze into places too tight for a regular wrench. And the gimbal action means it can swivel in all directions to make sure the socket lines up. It comes in 3/8-inch and 1/4-inch drives.
Price: $550
Escort calls its Passport Max a breakthrough in radar detection, and we have to agree. It uses digital signal processing to analyze and eliminate background noise, which allows the Passport Max to isolate specific radar signals, even weak ones that would normally be ignored. If the signal is coming from another car's radar-based adaptive cruise control, for instance, the Passport Max is smart enough to ignore that. And it does all of this 50 times faster than the company's next-fastest model, the 9500ix. The Passport Max has a GPS antenna, which shows your true speed and allows you to set speed warnings. It even lets you know when you're near a speed camera, red-light camera, or speed trap.

Asian Peanut Butter Pork CrockPot Recipe
Happy February! I am slowly emerging from my piles of paper, and I can see the light at the end of the recipe-editing tunnel. Thank you for hanging in there. Something weird happens when you are only reading your own writing for weeks on end---your self-esteem goes on a crazy roller coaster ride. One minute you're high-fiving yourself, and in the next you think you completely suck. Over and over and over again. It's rather exhausting.
But! This peanut butter pork tenderloin doesn't suck. So I've been told. It came from an anonymous commenter back in the original pork post. Anon shares that she makes it every month for an ongoing potluck dinner and if she doesn't make it her friends get mad---it's that good.
The Ingredients
serves 4
1.5-2lbs pork tenderloin
1 onion, sliced in rings
1/4 cup soy sauce (I used La Choy; it's gluten free)
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons water
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter
2 tablespoons chopped peanuts (garnish; optional)
1 lime, cut in wedges (garnish; optional)
The Directions.
Use a 4-6 quart crockpot. Put onion slices into the bottom of your crockpot. Put the pork on top. Add brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, water, garlic, and peanut butter. No need to stir--the peanut butter needs to melt before you can do so. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4-6. The pork will be more tender the longer you cook it. 1 hour before serving, flip the meat over in the crockpot to allow the other side to soak up the peanutbuttery goodness. Garnish with chopped peanuts, and serve with lime wedges. The lime juice mixed with the peanut butter is delicious.
The Verdict.
I snuck a taste. sshhh. Don't tell my mom. It was good; quite tender. I made some more of the sauce to spoon over some already-cooked chicken I had in the fridge---it was fantastic. I packed the meat up for my friend Stephanie and family. When I asked what she thought, she told me that she had a problem. Her husband, Bill, was home from work and ate it all. She and the kids didn't get to try any of it. I'm thinking that means he liked it.
Thank you anon, for sharing your dish with us!

This looks yummy! Will be trying this soon!
I've been meaning to point you towards some Cafe Rio (a restaurant popular in Utah and other western states) pork. It is awesome and very addictive. You have to make the pork and also the creamy tomatillo dressing. The chicken is also very good! My cousin has all the awesome recipes on her blog: http://opp-family.blogspot.com/2007/08/cafe-rio.html
- February 2, 2009 at 7:18 AM
Would this work equally well with chicken instead of pork?
- February 2, 2009 at 7:21 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
thanks, T!
ooh, thanks, for that link, Wilsons--I'll check it out.
Anon, yes. I think it would be great on chicken. I'd go for boneless, skinless thighs, if I were to do it.

My hubby has been wanting to do something with a pork tenderloin and I've just never found anything good. This looks yummy.
Great to see you around bloggy world again!

I just found your blog recently and love it! This sounds great! I can't wait to try it... I think I even have all the ingredients already which is a treat too!

This sounds really yummy! I found a recipe for Thai chicken that used peanut butter too and it's really easy. You just put about a lb or so of chicken thighs (or any chicken..I've even used boneless, skinless breasts) at the bottom of the crock pot w/a cup of salsa and a cup of peanut butter. Serve over rice.
- February 2, 2009 at 8:33 AM

What an interesting combo! Never would have thought of peanut butter!
- February 2, 2009 at 8:34 AM
- Joan said...
So, the pork tenderloin didn't get dried out and tough? Such lean cuts of meat generally don't fair well in the crockpot since they don't have all the connective tissue and fat to break down. Perhaps I'll have to try it!
I have made the Thai chix recipe referenced (salsa and PB) and it is a favorite!

Steph, you amaze me. That is all.

Oh I have got to try this when I've got some spare money to buy a pork loin.
We don't eat a lot of pork 'cause I have yet to find a place where I can buy a part share in a free range pig...but we love it!
- February 2, 2009 at 9:51 AM
Do you think this would work using white wine instead of the white wine vinegar? After all I have some "cheap white wine" on hand from when I made a turkey breast!
This looks really good. I have made a similar thing with chicken and it also had a bit of red pepper flakes in it.
- February 2, 2009 at 10:09 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Joan, I don't have that experience with lean meat. I use lean meat pretty much all the time, because I have a weird fat phobia. If you are finding that your meat is drying out, you are probably using too big of a crockpot. If you only have a big guy, try putting a smaller oven-safe dish inside of your crock to create a smaller cooking vessel, or put a layer of foil right down near the food to create a lid-within-a-lid. There is no need to buy/eat fatty meat, imo.
Hi Sandee, sure! There isn't much of the vinegar in there, and I think the white wine would provide a nice flavor.
- February 2, 2009 at 10:37 AM
- Jenna B said...
Thank you so much for your blog! I've never really cooked much before since I work all day, but now I have so many recipes to choose from because of your blog. My husband is much happier to not be eating Spaggetios for dinner!
- February 2, 2009 at 11:36 AM
- pajama mom said...
i read the recipe this morning and made it right away. i had the pork, but nothing exciting to do with it...
i've already had one helping and i'm thinking of eating some more!
and i did use white wine (i didn't have the white wine vinegar) and it tastes yummy.
i made some noodles to go with, they soaked up some of the sauce. and my husband will probably put some hot pepper flakes on his.
great recipe! thanks!

I have enjoyed your blog for several months. I have even recommended it to friends! This recipe sounds really interesting. If it's that good, I just may have to try it! Thanks!
God bless,

You are a mind reader! I was just thinking pork tenderloin for tomorrow. I miss your daily emails - can't wait for the cookbook.
- February 2, 2009 at 2:56 PM
I'll be making this later in the week. I'll have to use chicken though as I have an entire freezer full of chicken. Thanks again!!

I just found your blog and I've got to tell you that I love the honesty of your labeled Flops. I'm a crock potter at heart and am SO excited to browse your year (and hopefully forthcoming year!) of crockpotting.
LOVE your humor too! :o)
- February 2, 2009 at 7:10 PM
- Tiffani said...
Perfect! I needed something new to try this week and have lots of pork loin (hopefully that will work almost as well as tenderloin)in the freezer. We have some Thai chicken recipes with peanut butter that we love, and this sounds like it will be a nice addition to the repertoire!
- February 2, 2009 at 7:20 PM

Oh that sounds wonderful! But then again, I pretty much love peanut butter on ANYTHING! My Hubs on the other hand... hates it. /CRY!!!

I gave my husband the choice of this or the apricot/orange pork. he went with the apricot/orange. I cooked it overnight last night so we will have it for dinner tonight - it smelled amazing this morning, can't wait to try it tonight. I really want to try this one too, very much like a chicken recipe I do occasionally - next time for sure.

This recipe is in the crock pot right now, and it smells DIVINE! I can't wait to eat it tonight :)
- February 4, 2009 at 8:58 AM
I made this yesterday, except with some pork chops that I had in the freezer instead of the tenderloin. I shredded the pork into the sauce once it was done. Personally, I wanted a little more of the sour from the vinegar. Nevertheless, it smelled wonderful and the three of us ate with gusto served over rice noodles and with Asian cole slaw. Another keeper!
- February 4, 2009 at 11:45 AM
Just tasted this and it's fall-down-crying delicious!!! I'm going to use the immersion blender in the liquid/onions in the crock.
- February 4, 2009 at 2:27 PM
- Breezy said...
mmmmmmm Made this today. It's a hit. I would just add salt and pepper.
- February 4, 2009 at 3:12 PM

I made this for my family and my mom and dad- no lime though, didn't have it. YUMMMMM! Will put this on our rotation. Thanks! Laura

I can't eat sugar, you use a lot of sugar in your recipes.
Any ideas?
- February 5, 2009 at 12:19 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Tigerr, the sugar is to balance out the salt and tang of the soy sauce. I am certain that you can use honey or a natural or synthetic substitute. For honey, I'd use the same amount, but I don't know the proper ratio for a substitute.
if you happen to have a no-sugar teriyaki in the house, you can use that instead of the soy and sugar.

I made this with boneless pork chops a couple of night ago. I only had to stir the peanut butter around a bit after it melted and never had to flip the meat as the liquid just covered the chops. Perfect! Thought you would like to know. It worked out great!
My family loved it, too, so I am adding it to our freezer/slow cooker rotation. As chops are on sale for us right now I am also going to dump all the ingredients in a bag with the chops to make an easy freezer meal that I can dump in the crock when I need it. I'll also be making a couple of bags with boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of the pork. Thank you!

am cooking this right now with chicken breast haleves..found your blog jus after christams when i was given a crockpot for christmas and complained I had no recipes...I have made lots of yours and all are divine, cant wait to try this one as well.
- February 6, 2009 at 8:05 AM
- BranFlakes said...
We tried it and didn't like it much. The sauce was VERY think and the peanut butter was overwhelming. I followed your directions to a T, so I don't know what happened. I was really sad because it sounded so good and all your other recipes I've tried have been fantastic.
- February 6, 2009 at 11:23 AM
Hi, just tried this recipe today with tofu instead of pork and it's lovely. Unfortunately when I first tasted it, it was good but seemed to be missing something minor - I'd forgotten the vinegar. The addition of the lime juice probably would have been fine but I stirred some vinegar in anyway and turned it back on for an hour. Such a simple recipe and yet a good complex taste. I'm going to have with rice and some stir-fried cabbage tonight. Thanks for the easy tasty recipe - it converted to tofu very well.
- February 7, 2009 at 12:18 AM
i tried this on beef the other night because it's all i had. everybody loved it. i think it would be great on chicken too.
- February 7, 2009 at 11:29 AM
- Amy O' said...
It's in my crockpot right now - just about 6 hours - and the sauce is yummy, the pork is falling apart. I did add about 2 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce at the beginning (love that stuff) and some additional soy sauce when I flipped the pork. I came back to the comments to see what people had been serving it with - looks like noodles and a quick veggie stir fry are in order. Thanks! I just discovered your site and I love it!

I omitted the peanut butter and peanuts, and changed the lime to liquid lemon since I had no limes on-hand (but thankfully, had the rest of the ingredients! I received this at just the right time).
This recipe is a HUGE hit, and I've got picky eaters. My husband took a leftover serving to work today and made a pulled-pork sandwich from it and he said he got a lot of inquiries as to what his lunch was when the aroma wafted around the office! He's asking for this again for supper tonight (it makes dollar-stretching servings), and it'll be his third time in 24 hrs. of having it as a main course!
Very versatile, too. Last night, I served it with mashed potatoes and a vegetable. As I said above, my hubby is having it as a sandwich for lunch, and tonight I'm planning to do a stir-fry dish with it.
FIVE STARS: Definitely a keeper now to add to the rotation of "staple" meals in our home!

My husband is a huge peanut fan, so I thought I'd make this for him, but I wasn't sure I'd like it. It was delicious!! My pork tenderloin was frozen, and after a couple hours on high, it shredded up nicely, and my husband didn't even recognize it as pork. It has a really good, complex flavor. Using the leftovers to make Pork Fried Rice from Work It! Mom (Ordering Disorder). Thanks for a delicious recipe!!

- CraftyMamaMia said...
This sounds good! I am going to try it soon.
(I think I would be pretty upset with my husband if he devoured it all leaving none for me or the rest of the family...)

- Mandy said...
I'm eating this right now! I used Rice Wine Vinegar in place of the White Wine Vinegar, just because I had it, and it's "Asian". I will add some red pepper flakes next time, because I like a little heat, too. All in all, I really enjoyed it! THanks.
- February 12, 2009 at 6:54 PM
- inga said...
We loved this! I had cider vinegar and Splenda Brown Sugar Blend and cooked the pork loin on top of a cut up head of celery. It worked great. Celery in a crock pot seems to keeps the meat from drying out and adds to your daily veggie-count. I also added pepper before serving.
- February 16, 2009 at 7:06 PM
I made this last Sunday with a pork roast instead of tenderloin, otherwise I followed the recipe, aside from adding some veggies (see below). While it was very good, it didn't pack quite the punch I was looking for... I have a "thai" PB-salsa recipe that I make with chicken or turkey in foil packets (on the grill or baked), I think that might be what I was expecting, the kick of the salsa. Also, I always like veggies in my crock-pot, kind of a side-dish "cheater" ;) When I flipped the roast toward the end, I added some julienned carrots and shredded cabbage. The carrots cooked and the cabbage softened nicely while the pork finished up. I served it all over brown rice, which promptly sucked up a lot of sauce, yum. Served with a salad, it was a nice meal - thank you!
- February 18, 2009 at 7:27 AM
I'm not sure what I did wrong but I just got home & my meat is all shriveled up & all the peanut buttery stuff is blackened and hardened. When I made it, it didn't seem like much liquid for a crockpot recipe, and I rechecked the recipe & definitely put everything in. I cooked it on low for 8 hrs & it has probably been on warm for maybe an hour but I don't think that would've dried everything completely up? I'm going to recreate the sauce on the stove, anyway, just to give it a try.
- February 19, 2009 at 4:06 PM

This is by far my favorite pork recipe to date. I made it last week to try it out (I'm not a pork fan usually) and this was amazing!!
- February 24, 2009 at 11:23 AM
- Jenna B said...
Oh, and I used pork chops and cooked on low for 7 hours. Perfect!
- February 24, 2009 at 11:25 AM
I made this tonight but since I don't like peanut butter, I used almond butter instead. Tasted great!
- February 24, 2009 at 7:49 PM
- Anna said...
This is really good with chicken breasts too! One of our new favorites. Thank you!
- March 4, 2009 at 8:46 AM
Yum this is going to be our Sunday meal next week! The hubby is excited. Asian-inspired recipes, especially with pork *and* peanut butter are faves in our house! Awesome blog! You are inspiring me to use my crockpot more! :)
- March 22, 2009 at 11:00 AM
Late to the party, but I bookmarked this recipe a while back and finally made it for a party. Heavenly. We didn't have a crockpot big enough for the pork loin we bought, so we did it in a tightly-covered roasting pan at 350. It worked out just fine. Thanks for the great recipe!
- March 23, 2009 at 9:10 AM
- Liddy said...
I've made this twice. I think it's my favorite thing I've ever made in the crock pot! I had to thin out the sauce a little bit with water at the end and served it with linguine noodles and sugar snap peas. So yummy!!!
- July 14, 2009 at 7:04 PM
I just made this for dinner tonight and it was absolutely delicious! I used reduced-salt soy sauce and low fat peanut butter and cooked it for 6 hrs on low. The pork tenderloins were falling apart. I served it over brown rice. We look forward to eating the 2nd tenderloin later in the week. The lime juice at the end really cut the richness of the PB and it all worked well together. It was like eating Thai food without the takeout price! DELICIOUS! I will make this recipe often.

My mother in law gave me a similar recipe but for pork chops cooked on the stovetop. It used 1/2 can of cream of mushroom soup (I assume not gluten free) and worcestershire sauce rather than soy, sugar, vinegar and water. When I cook her original recipe I add a little curry powder to make it a little more interesting. This sounds like a really yummy variation!
- October 3, 2009 at 9:51 PM
This was just so perfect and delicious! This is now a "regular" in our rotation of meals.
I love it so much that I gave the recipe out to friends and I am testing it out as a freezer meal to have at home and give to family/friends (of course minus freezing the onion). I want to make sure that the flavors survive freezing. If they do, we will be eating this plenty! Even if it doesn't freeze well, this goes together sooooo fast!
So satisfying AND a very low-cost meal! Fed 3 of us and only cost $5!!! (tenderloin on sale). Highly recommend!
- November 11, 2009 at 12:24 PM
Okay...I have to tell you you are my hero!!!! I LOOOOVE my crockpot and am beyond excited to find someone who fires up multiple crocks at a time....I own three and thought I was the only person crazy enough to cook in all three at the same time! I can't wait to dive into your recipes! I'm gonna try this one this week..bc limes are on sale and i always have pork tenderloins...hubby works in a meat dept....and peanut butter!

I made this with a wee little one pound tenderloin. I nestled it in the sauce in a small Corningware dish inside of my large oval crockpot. My husband gobbled it up. My kids liked it OK, but objected to the peanuttyness. Anyway, the small tenderloin that I had cooked to an internal temperature of 170 degrees in just over two hours.

O MY GOSH! This is wonderful. The first time I made it I set the crockpot on high to preheat and left home for 9 hours. I came home to wonderful aromas and a pot of bubbling sludge. My daughter still ate some of it and liked it so much that I figured if it was good overcooked I needed to try it again.
I made it yesterday and everyone loved it - my husband kept eating more of the sauce (served it with wheat noodles)
The best I've tried! Thanks!
- December 30, 2009 at 11:28 AM
Boy, oh, boy! Was this good?! Eat the 1st night with Basmati rice and tonight with baked potatoes. Tastes even better tonight!

This was a GREAT recipe! Very easy (especially since I had everything on hand except for the limes!), and my husband thought it tasted just as good as I did! Yay for yummy recipes!
(I served it with rice and a green salad).
I will definitely be making it again...AND encouraging Hubby to make it, too. :o)

Making this right now, only with chicken, and the whole house smells soooooo good! I can't wait for dinner!
- August 16, 2010 at 2:58 PM
I made this last night and it was excellent! I can't wait to try it again using chicken. The best part was, my very picky kids couldn't get enough of it. Tonight we had some leftover flank steak and my kids (3yr and 2yr) begged for more of the peanut sauce for tonight. Thank goodness I saved the leftover sauce. I'm thinking I could even get them to eat some veggies if I put this sauce on them. :)
- August 31, 2010 at 4:33 PM
I just found your blog and this is the first of your recipes I tried. I used it for pork chops. It was fantastic!! It's definitely a keeper. I look forward to some of your other recipes.

Just found your blog and have tried 3 dishes so far. I substituted SunButter (sun flower seed spread) because my kids are allergic to peanuts/tree nuts. It was great!! Oh, I also used bone-in pork chops, which worked well. Love getting into this and reading your posts!!
- October 19, 2010 at 4:05 PM
ok, i made this cuz i love peanut butter and i love pork chops. omg...EPIC FAIL! it was all glumpy and gross. the only good thing is that my hubby loved the taste of the actual pork chop...said it tasted more like chicken.....so now i know to use the crock pot for pork chops again. i didnt eat hardly any.....bleh. i guess i did something wrong...but i'm not trying again to figure it out. hopefully i'll have better luck with your orange chicken recipe tomorrow :)

I just decided to try this today, as I had a pork roast I wanted to use and I always use the crockpot on Thursdays.
I had to substitue Bragg for the soy sauce and mollassas/white sugar for the brown sugar, and rice vinegar for the white wine vinegar. It smells great though, and I'm looking forward to having it over cabbage tonight.
- December 16, 2010 at 11:40 AM
I have this in the crockpot right now-it smells SO good! I used crunchy peanut butter (because we had it) and chicken (because I don't like pork). I'm sure the peanuts in the peanut butter will be soggy but I don't care. :) I just think for chicken-or maybe it's just my crockpot-8 hours on low is too long. I'm going on 7 hours and I had to turn it down to warm for several of those hours. Maybe someone else has some insight on that issue!

A good friend gave me some pork butt from a hunting trip and i wanted to do something different with it. It was very lean so i went with this recipe because the peanut butter is fatty for balance. It turned out so good I think i will add it to my potluck repertoire.
- July 23, 2011 at 11:28 AM
I tried this recipe and I'm not sure what was off but it wasn't terribly well received by my girlfriend and roommate. She said it maybe was the peanut butter (I did use natural chunky, figuring that once the peanut butter melted the chunky bits would be nice for texture.... The sides of my crock pot burned the sauce on, so I'm thinking maybe I need to add a bit more water. I did use two cloves of elephant garlic rather than regular garlic, but I don't think that could throw the taste off too significantly. What I did find, however, is that the Thai Beef recipe is fantastic and the sauce and carrots from that go fantastic with this recipe.. I added the sauce to this recipe and my roommate and girlfriend were very enthusiastic about it.. Weird how that works, but so far so good :) Thanks for having such great recipes! I'll bring up this site while shopping and decide on the fly what I'm having for dinner this week..

This is an awesome recipe! My husband is on a low salt, low carb diet, so I made the following modifications--I used the Splenda brown sugar blend, that mixes Splenda and real brown sugar, and instead of 1/4 cup of soy sauce, I used 1/8 cup of soy, and 1/8 cup of water with one packet of sodium free beef bullion in it. Those made it a little healthier for him, and just as yummy.

I must be one of the rare ones that did not like this recipe. :( I just didn't like the taste of the "sauce" at all. Quite disappointing, but can't win 'em all. Hubby said it was "ok". I'm thinking it was the peanut butter that turned me off on it. Thanks for all the recipes though, I still like experimenting, just maybe not so much with peanut butter...lol

This was tasty. Of course I had to add a little sriracha to give it some heat. Served with quinoa and cabbage. Yum!

Would this work with almond butter and almonds?

Hi Marianne,
What an interesting idea! I think it would work just fine-- the consistency and moisture is quite similar.
I'd love to hear your results if you give it a go!

My husband completed Basic in November 2012 came home and started OCS in May 2013 decided against OCS shortly after. He went back to MEPS and reworked his contract and now has an AIT date for Sept 2013. He has started a very long hiring process for a great job recently. He completed a written test in June and now he is preparing for a physical test he will have to take in August, then they move forward into Formal interviews, polygraphs, and psychological testing which will go well into or past Sept of this year. If he is forced to leave during this process he will lose a potentially great job. I know that his current employer is required to ensure him a job at or equal to what he is doing now when he comes back from AIT but this is just a prospective employer. Has anyone ever heard of a soldier getting their AIT moved for extenuating circumstances? He's been in for so long already and was just assigned an MOS I worry they won't want to postpone for that reason.

Re: Can you postpone your AIT date?
I say plead you case with your units RRNCO. Give them documentation and what not. The more, the merrier. It's better to address it now then in Sept.
Most units will work with soldiers, especially those who are trying to better themselves.
Re: Can you postpone your AIT date?
If it is really a big issue, he needs to address it with his chain-of-command immediately whether he is already back in a real unit or still under the umbrella of your state's Recruting & Retention. They may be able to help him in such an istance, but it also depends on where the unit is in it's readiness cycle, how short it is on qualified soldiers in that particular MOS, and also on your husband's status.
What I mean by your husband's status is when did he enlist? Soldiers only have 2 years to become MOS qualified before they are then discharged. We unfortunately have a candidate who has been in OCS so long and she just failed out, but she's been in the NG for 3 years without going to AIT or completing OCS so she is being discharged.
Re: Can you postpone your AIT date?
OP, his best option right now maybe just to bow out of the whole NG. I want to say he's only got a year upon completing BCT to be doing something like OCS or being MOS qualified. Given the dates you posted, it sounds like he'll go over that time and be involuntarily separated.
Reading between the lines, he's looking at some form of law enforcement. Is he going to put of the academy or probation to finish BCT?

Used to check and mark right angles, squares are defined as steel, try and combination. Combination squares will also measure 45 degree angles. If it has a degree scale, it can determine any angle.
A steel square is made from one piece of steel, with the long end (body) usually 24" and the short end (tongue) 16". Similar squares are available in other sizes (9" x 12") and other materials (aluminum).
Squares may also have tables or scales, the most common being rafter and Ease tables. These provide information on how much lumber will be needed on a job, as well as information for roof framing.
A try square is used as a guide for pencil markings of cuts and to check the edges and ends of boards to see if they are square. It is also used to determine whether a board is the same depth for its entire length. Try squares have wood, plastic or metal handles.
A combination square combines the best features of the steel and try squares. It has a grooved blade and head that can be adjusted to many locations on the 12" blade to provide different measurements. The head usually contains one or two levels and a scratch awl for marking. One edge of the handle has a 45° angle for use as a miter square. Some combination square sets are available with an attached protractor that is movable throughout 180º for setting the blade at any angle within that range. Combination square heads (handles) are commonly plastic or metal.
Clarity and legibility of graduations is a key factor in choosing any type of square. Modern techniques enable manufacturers to etch graduations into the blade and create high-visibility markings that are durable as well.
Rafter tables, which appear on steel squares, are used to figure lengths and cuts of rafters. The table consists of six lines of figures, with each line's use indicated on the left end of the square. The first line of figures gives lengths of common rafters per foot run; second line, lengths of hip and valley rafters; third line, length of first jack rafter and differences in length of the others centered at 16"; fourth line, length of the first jack rafter and differences in length of others centered at 24"; fifth line, side cuts of jack rafters; and sixth line, side cuts of hip and valley rafters. Metric rafter squares are also available.
The Essex Board Measure table, which also appears on steel squares, shows board measure of almost all sizes of boards and timbers.
Inch graduations along the outer edge of the square are used in combination with the values given along seven parallel lines of the table.
The figure 12 on the outer edge represents a 1' board 12" wide and is the starting point for all calculations. All inch graduations on both sides of the figure 12 represent board widths, and figures in vertical columns under the inch graduations denote board measure.
To find the number of board feet in a piece of lumber, start under the mark 12 on the outer edge of the square and find the length of the piece. Along the same scale of inch graduations locate the width of the timber. Then follow the line on which the length is stamped toward the column of figures under the width. The figure at the point of intersection indicates board measure of the piece. Figures in the Essex table are for boards 1' thick. To obtain the measure for any other thickness, multiply the figure given in the table by the thickness of the piece.
Extension rules are used to measure closed-in areas such as doorways and window frames where a regular folding rule will not work. Extension rules feature a 6" sliding rule in the first section that can be pulled out to measure distances of less than 6" without moving and marking.
Folding rules usually consist of 6" to 8" hardwood lengths connected by spring joints, but are available in steel and aluminum as well. Some have special plastic or epoxy coverings to protect the blade and printed numbers. Better models are painted with clear protective coatings over sharp multicolor printing and highlight commonly used markings for easy reading. Two basic rule styles are inside read and two way.
An inside-read rule is marked on one edge of the blade so that measurements can be read from inside a window or door frame, etc. When the first section of the rule is unfolded, it enables the user to make accurate measurements without removing it from the surface being measured. It is also popular because it always lies flat on the work surface.
The two-way, flat-reading rule is calibrated so that it can be read from left to right at either end of the rule, regardless of which end is unfolded first.
Folding rules are available for specialized uses such as engineering, plumbing, masonry and mechanics. These differ from general use rules in the markings on the rule face.
A tape rule is a concave, spring-steel blade ranging from 1/4" to 1" wide and from 3' to 33' long, coiled inside a carrying case. Metric tape rules come in comparable widths and lengths up to 10 meters.
Because the tape rule is flexible, it provides an easy means for accurately measuring curved surfaces. The concave cross section allows it to be extended unsupported. Contained in the housing of some models are spring mechanisms that release or retract the tape.
Quality features include wider blades, Mylar® or epoxy coating to protect the finish, better cases and return mechanisms. Some include a spring clip for attachment to a belt. Many tapes have markings for laying out studs on 16" centers or other specialized markings.
Since blades receive hard wear, replacement blades or complete drop-in cartridge assemblies are offered to fit all sizes of tape rules.
In addition to pocket or power tapes, 25', 50' and 100' flat steel tapes are available, as are metric tapes up to 50 meters. Longer tapes are contained in durable cases and rewound by a crank on the side of the case. Continuous filament fiberglass and woven tapes also are available in sizes up to 300'.
This group of tools contains such items as calipers, dividers, micrometers and thread-pitch gauges. These items are used primarily by professionals, but are gaining popularity with hobbyists.
Calipers and dividers are used for transferring measurements from a model to a part being produced. They can also be used to measure holes or objects that cannot be reached easily with a graduated measuring device.
Dial calipers and micrometers are used for close-tolerance work using drill presses and lathes. These devices can make inside, outside and depth measurements to within .001".
Thread-pitch gauges are used to determine the exact thread pitch needed for replacing screws and nuts.

Felton Has Bone Bruise in Both Hands; Camby Running but Still Not Ready to Return
Though he continues to play, Raymond Felton revealed he has a bone bruise in his right hand to go with a previous similar injury in his left hand, according to a report from Marc Berman of the Post. Felton will continue to play despite the pain in both hands.
It's worth keeping in mind the pain Felton's playing through when griping about his spotty shooting of late, and it's certainly possible to admire the bulldoggedness of the point guard's desire to stay on the floor.
In the same report, Berman also notes that Marcus Camby, who's been suffering through plantar fascia (which is not a rare poisonous flower), has begun running but is still not cleared to return to practice and will miss his ninth straight game. It's sort of remarkable really how little the absence of Camby has mattered so far this season, given how high the expectations were for his contribution coming into the season.

I'm new here, but not new to the breed. I currently have a 6 year old female full blooded APBT I had her since she was 6 weeks old, and I also have an 8 year old male APBT mixed with a rottweiler, I had him since he was 3 months. I have a little min pin too, but he's my moms. The 8 year old male is named Big Smoke and the 6 year old female is named Liberty.
Liberty is the ultimate sweet heart, I put a lot of work into training her the way I wanted, and she has been the best do I have ever had. She is my best friend, my room mate, she sleeps in my bed. She is definitely a female, she acts just like one. She has mood swings, gets jealous, when we go on vacation and don't take her, she ignores me. I have changed a lot of pit bull haters minds about the breed with her. She is truly a one of a kind dog.
Big Smoke, what can I say about him? He's a big ole teddy bear, he suffers from the rottweiler mentality of him being littler then he really is, especially when he tries to sit in my lap. He is an outside dog, so he is territorial, and suffers from "stranger danger." If he doesn't know you he wont' hesitate to bite, that is why he is chained up. Say as you might, that's what we wanted when we got him. However if you take the time and get him to like you. (Feed him a bunch of table food) He'll love you forever. Typical man.. way to his heart is through his stomach. He is by no means a bad dog, I taught him a lot, and for him being an outside dog, he sure knows not to go the bathroom in the house, knows where his room is. He is smarter then the average bear.. heck he looks like one.
Chief, the little min pin. He was a show dog, and he is 2 years old. He was one win away from being a champion, until his hips separated and had to have surgery. We adopted him after she couldn't use him for show no more. You would think show dogs are very well mannered, and stuff. He was so scared of everything, didn't know how to go to the bathroom on the leash, and was terrified of the inside dog. (Can't blame him) He came a long way, he has his flaws, but it's still a work in progress. He has made himself at home, gets a long with both Liberty and Big Smoke. He suffers from a Napoleon Complex, but most small dogs do. I work with him, but he doesn't respond well to males, so my mom has been working with him. He's almost there.
That's enough about me, and my dogs.

vibe frame v2
Replacement frame for your vibe 2 buggy. This part includes the frame only - the wheels and bumper bar are sold separately.
This product has been discontinued - once we've sold the last, it's gone for good (we're sorry!).
PLEASE NOTE: This frame is a version 2 vibe frame and may not compatible with your current front wheel assembly if you own a vibe version 1 buggy. Version 2 is easily identified by a plastic protection around the holes on the front of the stroller frame where the bumper bar and double kit attaches to the front. Having this oval shaped protection on the frame indicates you have a version 2.
Can't say...

Vibe v2 frame solved the Vibe1 front wheel wobble

Brilliant service by Josh of Phil & Teds in Bristol. The Vibe is a robust workhorse, which we have taken to Mallorca three times, and run over beaches and down rough country paths packed full of heavy bags and kids, taking mumps and grinding sand. With the wheels and wheel guards popped of (quick & easy to do) it compacts so well it fitted into the boot of our Mazda MX5 2-seater sports car. Our early version of the Vibe has a couple of flaws.
We have owned two Phil & Teds Vibe v.1 strollers (bought c.2009). The Vibe v.1 had two serious design defects. Firstly, the version 1 Vibes suffer from a wobble or judder of the front wheel if moving at anything above a slow able speed. Everyone I met had encountered this problem. We went back to John Lewis, and they were told by Phil & Teds that they were not aware of any such problem. This was evidently a false assertion, as a number of people we knew had sent them back and had the defect improved (but not completely solved). This issue was later addressed by Phil & Ted's in their re-design of the front wheel and bearing of the Vibe v.2. If you buy a Vibe second hand, be careful to check about this, as you will not be happy with a version 1 Vibe.
The second major flaw is the weak joints to either end of the rear horizontal cross-member, which shears off through the thin aluminium metal tubing of the structural frame/chasis. You will find on ebay that many second hand Vibes and Vibe frames have been welded at this point -check closely for this! It is doubtful whether such a re-weld will hold. After several years our old faithful Vibe developed this problem, and sheared at both sides of the cross member, exposing ragged metal edges as it did so. Fortunately our children were not hurt before we spotted it and put it out of use. The Vibe version 2 has the same design of cross-member with welds, therefore I expect that after several years of use, this may well also be prone to shearing.
After buying a second Vibe, and finding it sadly to also have the front wheel wobble issue, I tried contacting Phil & Teds to ask what options I might have to solve the issue. The experience was frustrating, as apparently P&Ts no longer have a technical team in the UK, and the person I spoke to was apparently unaware of these issues. At last I heard about a chap working from Bristol for Phil & Teds called Josh. Josh came around our house and took a look, and provided a solution we are very happy with: at a huge discount he arranged for us to be sent two new frames and front wheels for a Vibe v.2 (no wheel wobble issue), onto which I could attach our seats, rear wheels, & basket, etc. Our Vibes were long out of warrantee, so we were overjoyed to have both back into operation at little cost. Thanks so much Josh - you are brilliant!
I understand that taking on my experiences, they have made sure that help staff are kept appraised of defects, and are trying to ensure the lack of a UK-based workshop doesn't stop them from being able to seek input from their other workshop mechanics overseas.

Bought a second hand vibe on ebay, 3 months later after average use the aluminium frame snapped by the rear wheel. Contacted p&t and asked if they could help (a real long shot), amazingly they agreed to supply a brand new frame and front wheel at 80% discount from rrp. Absolutely delighted with the level of customer service they have provided in this case and will certainly continue to use p&t products in the future.
The vibe frame itself is made from aluminium and is a little stiff, hence the tendency to crack (research on the internet showed that mine was not an isolated case) so pl be aware. Vibe has now been discontinued which again could be an indication of problems with the model or maybe p&t are just slimming down what they offer.
Love the frame.

Vibe 2 frame

We bought the frame a month ago. It is the second frame we have to buy in less than 2 years...both broken!
After speaking with the customer service, we were offered a discount on the frame....but they got confused and gave us a discount in the verve frame. We tried for almost 10 days to order it as I could not be without a double pram and I was going on holidays on my own with both kids (28 and 12 months old). We finally got it,....too late for my trip though.
The customer service was not good this time and we are disappointed with the frames quality as it has broken twice and last time we had to pay around £100
Replacement Frame and Wheel for Vibe Pushchair

Replacement frame bought as original, which had seen light use over a period of 4 years and 2 babies broke ! One of the welds came apart on the frame. Had to buy a new front wheel too as the frame design had been updated. Was given a large discount as this pushchair broke but it was still an expensive repair.
