Venison Meatballs and Pork Tenderloin c/o Everyone Except Me

Mr. Ass's friend S. brought the fixins for pork tenderloin with him when he arrived and soon got to work putting it all together. Meanwhile, and way before his arrival, Mr. Ass's mother did the not so fun job of processing the less appealing parts of a deer Mr. Ass had brought down with his bare hands (and a rifle) into ground meat, which she then turned into meat balls. I did nothing very useful in regards to either of these food making activities, as I generally find people to have their own thoughts on how to do things, and putting in my two cents only confuses matters.
So S. first seared the loin before taking it to the grill and letting it and its apple and onion compatriots warm up and get all happy and familiar with one another. The end result was some extremely tender and moist pork, which was further accompanied by the apples/onions, as well as brussels sprouts and grilled beans. Mmm those beans were good.
A lovely evening. I hear that after I left there was some sort of funny adventure involving the band Ween. But details on that have yet to surface. I am going to make up what happened not giving you the context that would potentially make the whole thing make more sense: Mr. Ass and S. suddenly decided that they felt like hearing some live music, so they drove to New Hope in the hopes of seeing a local artist play but as they were parking they noticed a huge crowd of people in the back of a house and being adventurous fellows, just went for it and joined the crowd. It soon became clear that the crowd were all old friends getting together for the first time in forever, and some of those friends were the Ween bros who decided, in quite the impromptu fashion, to play an acoustic set of their album Mollusk (good album, look it up). Soon thereafter one of the Ween bros noticed Mr. Ass and realized he had recently purchased one of his paintings somewhere! Then they did lots of drugs (because that's what people who go to Ween shows do, not because Mr. Ass does lots of drugs - he doesn't) and the Ween bros signed Mr. Ass and S. to a record contract and next fall a collection of their musical stylings will be released. And that's what I think happened.

Ok the Ween Bros story is funny enough, and the notion of venison is awesome enough, but pork tenderloin cookers want to know what exactly was done with the pork and its grilling friends..all in a pot together, all separate on a grill, some in a pan some not...yummy totally. And if there is excess venison to be offloaded, the resident teen here would take it no problemo. Who knew...maybe she needs to hook up with a huntin' club...

ok there was like a cumin etc rub for the pork. then he seared it on the stove then nestled it back into tin foil with the apples and onions and put it on the grill to cook. let it rest for about 15 minutes.

Kind of seemed like they could have just put it in the oven since they weren't giving the meat grill marks, but i kept my mouth shut.
