Considering that I pretty much accomplished my plan of staying in the chair all day, we did a lot today, too. We didn't get any snow out of this storm - but it surely has been windy all day.
I started supper cooking (more about that later). Then John and Allan went to the Gallery with me to help take down my show. The end of Eccentric & Eclectic. I'm still pretty proud of my first solo show. I left a few things there to hang in my regular space. And we even found places to put all the stuff I brought home.
I started some beef/barley/mushroom soup. I've been hungry for that for a while, and I just found some barley. Since we all have colds, it'll be even better tomorrow.
I did the laundry, and we helped the Lady Vols to a win over Vanderbilt. And Allan got some new clients. Busy, busy, busy!
As to our dinner tonight, a couple of months ago, Kate sent a recipe for pernil. It's a Puerto Rican style of cooking pork shoulder. I've had a pork shoulder in the freezer, but just couldn't find a good time to fix it. The meat is coated with a puree of adobo (mixture of onion, garlic, oregano, Ancho chili power, cumin, etc., and cooked all day in a very slow oven. The coating cooks into an incredible savory crust, and the pork is so moist and flavorful. Google "pernil" to find several recipes - and give it a try.
John's definitely on the mend. I'm still fighting the symptoms, so I'm going to skip swimming in the morning.
I've got to remind Wayne of that recipe. Do you think it'd work with a pork loin? We've got a big hunk of that in the freezer.
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun - except for the pestilence part.

I don't know why it wouldn't work on a loin. It might not take all day, though.
