pull pork barbecue. She cooked the pork loin in a crock pot with a can of root beer, a cup of chopped up celery, and one large chopped up onion. She cooked it on high for four hours. After it was cooked, she drained the root beer off. Then she used Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce, and squirted in yellow mustard. Mixed it all up,and added banana pepper rings with juice.

I have a little leftover puff pastry and some tiny sausages, so ...
... itty bitty sausage rolls it is.

I'll figure out some sort of side, maybe using mushrooms and peppers, since that's what's in the fridge.


also a stunningly lovely day here in Chicago

Steam-fried in evoo and veggie broth: chopped onion, red bell pepper, sliced mushrooms, and minced garlic. When done I stirred in cannellini beans, cooked red lentil rotini and marinara sauce. After plating I topped the dish with slices of seasoned roasted zucchini slices and vegan Parmesan. Cheers!🥂
