Vixen’s Summer Ale (Tricky Vickis)
~ dear friend Vicki's refreshing summer ale ... 'two thumbs up' for a picnic or leisurely cruise on the boat
Ingredients:
1 (6 ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate
1 (6 ounce) can of vodka (fill after dumping out lemonade)
4 bottles Corona beer
Fresh muddled Mint
Combine all ingredients, pour over ice and garnish with fresh limes.
FRESH HERB PORK TENDERLOIN with GRILLED PEACHES
~ Perfect summer fare while peaches are at their peak
2 well-trimmed pork tenderloins
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
3 tsp. chopped fresh thyme
3 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary
2 cloves minced garlic
fresh ground pepper to taste
1 tsp. kosher or sea salt
4 peaches cut into thick slices
juice of a fresh lemon
extra-virgin olive oil
- Combine thyme, rosemary and fresh garlic.
- Coat tenderloin with olive oil and sprinkle with pepper and salt. Roll tenderloins in fresh herb mixture. Set aside to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes or place in refrigerator for several hours. Let come to room temp before grilling.
- Grill tenderloin until meat thermometer inserted into center reads 140º, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and let rest while you cook the peaches.
- Sprinkle sliced peaches with fresh lemon juice and brush with olive oil. Grill on high heat for 1-2 minutes, enough to get good grill marks.
- Slice tenderloin into 1/4-inch diagonal pieces. Serve with grilled peaches.

I love how you captured them!
My favorite things, daylilies and pork tenderlion. With the heat we are having thank goodness for those sturdy daylilies. The pork recipe sounds easy and delicious, especially since it can be done on the grill. Grilled peaches and a glass of ale, yum!

I hear you, Rose, and thank you! Heading toward 100º today. I wilt in the heat!
Bought some more peaches yesterday with your nudge for grilling ... I'm excited to try this recipe.
I do hope you can survive this heat. Here's hoping it won't last too long. Do you cool down at night?

Grilled Tenderloin and Peaches -- yum. It is the season....must take a road trip to peach country and buy them by the roadside!
The 4 bottles of Corona would disappear before I ever finished this recipe. I don't drink beer, but someone who plays bluegrass music does.
Ha, ha ... dear Freda. How fun to sip Corona and listen to 'the musician'. I'll bring the tenderloin for a alfresco dinner :)
Thanks Tina ... yes, the tenderloin is summer easy and yummy :)
Imac, imac, imac ... a huge compliment coming from you, 'eye behind the lens', fun friend:)
