Apricot Mustard Glazed Pork Roast
"An easy recipe that is great for a dinner party. I found it in a magazine (Women's Day? Family Circle?) while sitting in the waiting area of the hospital emergency room. My family now refers to it as "Emergency Room Roast." I served it with sweet potato casserole and creamed spinach. (BTW, my dad was in the ER but he's just fine now, thank you!)"

This was lovely!! The pork was really moist and the flavour of the apricot and mustard was just heavenly! We had it with steamed carrots and roast potatoes. Will definitely make again, thank you for posting!

I live in New Orleans where we are completely spoiled by the fabulous food and restaurants and are hard to please when we venture far away from home. We were struck a hard blow by Katrina, but we're coming back slowly but surely. I work fulltime but love to spend weekends cooking for friends and family, especially during the holidays. Favorite cookbooks: anything from Southern Living and Bon Appetit magazines (the recipes don't intimidate me!).
I have 3 sons (2 of them steps) and 6 precious step-grandchildren. I say "steps" but I love them like my own. Both DH and I are in education (me clerical, him administration).
Before Katrina, we shared our love of food and cooking with 3 other couples in a dinner group called "Whine & Dine." Our quarterly dinner parties all had themes that were reflected in the menu, centerpieces, what we wore, etc. Tremendous fun as we celebrated the cuisines of Canada, Italy, seafood, fine restaurants, Martha Stewart. At a breakfast dinner party, we all wore pj's and slippers! The storm disrupted all of our families and homes and social lives for quite awhile, but I'm hoping we'll re-start our group again soon (now that everyone involved has finished repairing their kitchens!)
Update Oct 2009: Whine & Dine reunited after 4 years. The theme was Whine & Dine Goes to Hollywood. Menu: The Magnificant Seven-Layer Dip, Ratatouille, Veal Oscar, When Harry Met Salad, Ol' Yeller Squash, Okrahoma, and Napoleon Dynamite. All of us dressed as movie stars and "Oscars" were awarded. For a night, it was as if Katrina had never happened! Great, great, happy fun!
