Month 7 day 12: Pork kebabs and lavender potatoes

Today I made:
Spiedies, Saveur August/September 2011
Roasted Potatoes with Lavender, Saveur August/September 2011

These were both good recipes. Both were easy and pretty hands-off too, but don't count as quick because the spiedies needed to marinate for a long time and the potatoes roasted for a while.
The spiedies recipe calls for 1.5 lbs of pork loin, 3/4 c olive oil and two 10" hoagie rolls. It suggests that this recipe serves 2-4. How could two people eat so much?? Gross.
Sometimes lavender-flavored food items seem weird to me, because I associate lavender with the smell of soaps or lotions that shouldn't be eaten. I got some lavender tea once, for example, and did not enjoy it as much as I liked the sound of it. These were good though, because the lavender wasn't overpowering. I think it just scented the butter a little bit, and most potatoes didn't actually have huge clumps of lavender on them. And even if they did, it was a little crispy at that point, so it wasn't overpowering.
The sandwiches were nice and flavorful. I used tenderloin (they were out of pork loin because it had been on sale for very cheap... dang!), so it was nice and soft. Toasted baguettes cut the inside of my mouth though :( Is that normal?! Anyway, I think this meat would taste great served on rice, cous-cous, salad, or however else too.
I also had some more of the ice cream from yesterday, now that it has set up in the freezer for a day. Now it's like real ice cream :) but still soft!
