Good Morning!
God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly…).
42.1F not going up much more…rain later turning to”wintry mix” overnight.
Work was uneventful, which was nice.
i keep apples and oranges in a hanging basket on the side porch, the single-digit temps did a job on them,#9 I made applesauce out of them (yes,t he oranges went in too, along with some raisins, cinnamon, and ginger). It came out pretty good, and salvaged almost ten pounds of apples.
last night, I took about a quart of the sauce and put it in a Dutch oven with a 3lb boneless pork loin and baked it for 4 hours at 300 and it came out amazingly good! It just needs a little salt when serving. How good is it? Mrs said she might have some for breakfast..
essentially it was pork poached in applesauce.
Church in a little bit, first coffee. ”Warm” spell is ending, so the four days of no woodstove are ending, the HVAC is starting to run a bit more often, and I need to start cooking down the last sap harvest, so Fire will be made after church. Time to start organizing the piles of paper to feed Uncle Sam . . . Just the thing to make a dreary wet nasty day complete
.
i hope everyone has a happy healthy safe blessed day!
