Okay. I'm going to (attempt to) have my gf whip this up for me on my rapidly-approaching birthday. She's a good cook, although usually hesitant to try anything too far outside her realm of experience, and I don't think she's ever done pork.

But god dammit, this sounds good.

So anyway - any advice, any possibly-overlooked details, any thoughts on Ways To Not Fuck This Up - I'd love to hear them.

Except the potatoes thing, of course. Got that one already.

Anyone who can explain why garlic is stronger the smaller you chop it using road flares and a butane torch ranks high in my book.

Larger surface area? [/guess]

Not to steal your thunder, Iggs, but I think the whole "butane torch" thing gave it away somewhat ;)

Nah, it has to do with chemical reactions that only occur when you break up the garlic's structure.

which is why a lot of chefs like to smash the garlic before chopping

And it's a great excuse to make loud banging noises while swinging a bloody great cleaver around.

Wheee! garlic-smashing! (my favorite cooking sport!)

People who don't like garlic and spicy food (with spicey garlic) are advised to stay away from my cooking.

Shouldnt that be "people who like food"?

Okay, here goes chumps - I'm taking a stab at this meal tonight.

I was sitting with my wife and I said: "What's for dinner tonight?"
"Nothing planned," she replied.
I sat for a moment, contemplating my internal recipe book and decided that something new and exciting was needed (although my repitoire is pretty damn hot). So I let it fall to a challenge, I said, "Pick a foodtype and I'll figure something out."
"Okay... Pork."
Me suddenly splorts: "PORKLOIN BLOWJOBS!" :D
Wife: "SAY WHUT?" :erg:

I will deliver photos of said results.
