Last night I dreamed I was on Iron Chef - but it wasn't on any of the sets, it was set in an old cathedral. And I was more practicing for it during the first part, and then somehow segued into the actual competition, where I was getting panicky because I'd forgotten half my dishes.

The only thing I remember making was a pork loin that soaked first in a mix of honey and grape juice, and then I crusted it with a mix of crushed spices, including cinnamon and star anise, and then I also dusted cinnamon over ... something with potatoes in it. There was at least one more dish, but I can't remember. The theme I'd picked was "Along the Silk Road". I'm not sure what the theme ingredient was - presumably cinnamon, as I used it in both dishes. XD

The amusing thing is I think the pork dish might not be entirely bad, given some tweaking ... honey, fruit, and spices like that all go with pork.

The pork does sound pretty good!

I'm sort of tempted to try it. XD There's a pork loin in the freezer; I could hack off a section of it so I don't ruin the whole thing if it doesn't work...
