About the Blog - Fragments of a Life

This blog will contain things I have written; some of my best photos; and a selection of my favourite recipes. I am truly fortunate to have traveled to and worked in fascinating places, met remarkable people, and seen many of the wonders of planet earth. Friends have urged me to write about these experiences and to publish my photographs. Maybe, one day, these will come together into a book. For now, they will be presented as fragments of a life since I am not yet prepared to "retire" and write. As well, for many years, I have been promising to publish my "cookbook". As I cannot get my act together to edit that all at once, I will start publishing those recipes one by one.

Pork Tenderloin with Sticky Lime Glaze


1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup liquid honey (or sweet pomegranate paste)
2 teaspoons grated lime rind
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 small onion, finely diced
2 tbsp minced ginger root
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 pork tenderloins (about 12 oz or 375 grams each)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • In large glass bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, lime rind, lime juice, onion, ginger, garlic and pepper. [This can be made ahead of time, covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.]
  • Add pork, turning to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Drain pork, reserving marinade.
  • In large ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown pork
  • Pour in marinade and bring to boil; boil for 1 minute.  (If marinade seems a little too thick, add a little water.)
  • Roast in 400°F (200°C) oven until juices run clear when pork is pierced and just a hint of pink remains inside, about 18 minutes.
  • Transfer to cutting board and tent with foil; let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Arrange on platter; pour sauce over top.
