Soy Lime Pork Tenderloin

Another great day for grilling, which of course means more corn on the grill, especially since corn is twenty cents right now. I am so glad it is coming back on corn season. I could eat it every night.

This pork tenderloin recipe is my mom's. It is very important that it be cooked on a grill. I have tried it indoors a couple of times and it is no where near as tasty. After tonight, we are out of charcoal, so I need to replenish the supply in order to keep enjoying the grill while the weather isn't too terribly sweltering.
