Fresh pasta with a Sun Dried Tomato Cream Cheese sauce with fresh Basil, Chives and Pork Tenderloin

Serves 4 People

1 Pork Tenderloin ~500-700 grams
2,5 dl of real cream
1,5 dl of sun dried tomato cream cheese
2 tbs of chopped Basil
2 tbs of chopped Chives
Salt

How too do.
Start by trimming the pork tenderloin and shred it to thin, small pieces. Brown the pork tenderloin in a frying pan and add salt and pepper and pork rub when the meat is almost done. Add the cream and cream cheese into the frying pan with the pork tenderloin and while the cream cheese is melting chop the basil and chives into small pieces and add that to the frying pan as well, put on a lid on and let it simmer for a few minutes. In the mean time bring a large pan with water, salt and olive oil to boil and cook the pasta al dente (~2-3 min) drain the pasta and pour it into a deep bowl and add the cream cheese and pork tenderloin sauce on top of the pasta. Serve the pasta and sauce in deep bowls with some shaved parmesan cheese on the side. Enjoy!

Touchdown, I have now landed in KC

Well, I made it, jippi!!!!!!!!

It was very close but I made it to the gate in time and the flight to
Kansas City. We were 40 minutes late flying into Washinton and after
getting off the plane I walked as fast as I could towards imigration.
What I didn't know since this was the first time flying in to
Washinton was that in order to get to imigration you have to take one
of those funny buses that I talked about earlier. The thing is that
there are two kinds of buses on the airport, one that have an entrence
in one end and the exit in the opposite end and this one that has the
entrance and exit on the same side, but that I didn't know so when
entering the bus as one of the first I went all the way to the back
which I thought would be the exit once we arrived to the terminal, BIG
mistake. As I was in the back of the bus I was also one of the last to
get off and therfore I ended up at the end of the line in imigration.
It also must have been more international flights landing at the same
time because the lines at imigration was long and it took a good half
hour to get through. By the time I exited the imigration and customs
it was less than 20 minutes left until the next flight. Luckilly the
gate was in the same terminal as I was so I didn't need to take
another bus but it was at gate D14 and I was at the C gates and the
monitors said that they had started to board already and I didn't have
a boarding card yet. But I said to myself let's try to make it and
started to run in zig zag between all the people in the terminal. Once
I arrived at the gate people was going on to the plane and I looked at
the monitor and it said that the flight had checked in full so I was
not expeting to get on board but after the last passenger had left the
gate I talked to the gate peronal and they had emty seats so I was
able to go onboard the plane as the last passenger. I was sweating
allot after my long run but at least I made it. Next time I go to
Europe is in the beginning of November but after that I hope that I
don't have to travel internationally for a couple of months. This
stress can not be good for my heart ;o) just kidding, but getting
through imigration and customs takes a long time sometimes and if you
incoming flight is late like today you are basically screwed. Since it
also was the first time coming in via Washington I wasn't sure where
everything was, in Chicago I know every corner so there I know how and
where to go.

A very long flight

The flight over today was very long. We had a very strong headwind
which slowed us down and made the flight a little more than 9 hours. I
sure hope that I make my connection in DC, I will only have about 1
1/2 hour between the flights and I need to get through imigration and
customs before I can get to the next flight and I sure that my
connection leaves from a different terminal soo I will have to take
one those funny shuttles they have here in DC, but he bad part is that
they are slow. Not too long ago I was connecting here I DC and I
missed my flight home and had to wait for 8 hours for the next one.
Let's hope that don't happen today. I'm also worried about the
security check because they are slow as well. The good news is that I
was sitting close to the exit on the airplane soo hopefully I'll be
one of he first to get off. I counted the seats behind me and there
are approximately 190 people behind me so if I can get to imigration
before them I should be ok. Everything is packed in my bag and all the
papers are filled in soo all I have to do is to run quickly.

Look what we got here!! I almost feel at home ;o)

They also have good taste in cars in Denmark
