I'm playing catch up on my mealplans here due to another busy week. On Tuesday we had pork tenderloin on the grill which I marinated in some orange juice and salt and pepper. It was very good and tender. The orange flavor didn't come through very strongly, but it had a very nice fresh taste.
For sides I made pasta with parmesan and butter and used one of those frozen "steamer" bags of asparagus. The asparagus was limp and rubbery, not good at all. I followed the cooking instructions on the bag and usually my microwave works well with the standard instructions. Perhaps that was not true in this case, or a greater possibility: asparagus does not do well in the microwave. I think I'll stick to grilling it from now on.

I keep meaning to tell you I tried something new in desperation one night. One pound of browned ground round (say that really fast!), 2 T butter, 1 c cubed velveeta cheese, and 1/8 - 1/4 c milk to thin it out a little and you have Cheesey Joe! They were pretty good on buns with a little ketchup, mustard, and pickle.
