Ben: Like

Erin: Like

Annie: Like the pork, dislike the chickpea salad

Notes: I overcooked the pork on the grill, which basically ruined this for me. It still tasted good, but the meat was too dry. I was really looking forward to this too, so I was bummed out. The chickpea salad I made earlier in the day, over lunch, and it was great to have that pre-made so I could just focus on screwing up the pork.

Not so much enjoying her chickpea salad 🙂
