Decided to simplify things and just do a pork tenderloin roast. Should go quickly and be ready by lunchtime.

Costco was in fact the first place I tried today. And normally I think they do have them. There must be a shortage around here.

I, too, made ribs but then I completely forgot to take any pictures.
