I stopped at the library on my way home to pick up my requests. 6 movies and a book. Can you guess what I’ll be doing this week/week-end?
While at the mall, I stopped at the grocery store to pick up milk and buns. I will not delude myself into believing I have time to make bread/buns this week.
I came home starving. Ate some of the left over Chinese food I bought yesterday. I ordered the dinner for 4 which consists of chicken fried rice, beef chow mein, beef with broccoli, sweet and sour pork, chicken wings and spring rolls. When I think about it, that take out was a good deal. It fed 4 of us yesterday and 4 meals today AND there are still leftovers.
And then I sat down.
BIG MISTAKE.
I had to talk myself into getting up to deal with the slab of pork. I had it in my head to take a picture before I cut it so you could see what I was talking about but well … tiredness took that idea away.
I cut the pork loin in half. I seasoned one half with my cousin’s secret seasoning mix of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and Montreal steak seasoning.
I added onions to the slow cooker and put the piece of pork in. This whole concoction went into the fridge and I will set it and forget it tomorrow morning.
The other piece of pork, I chopped up and seasoned with onion, garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and various herbs and spices using this recipe as a guideline. It too went into the fridge I will stew that up tomorrow night when I get home for dinner on Wednesday.
Laundry and working out have been re-scheduled as I am beat.

Future you will shout your blessings for the prep you did on the slab of pork. Sometimes when I’m faced with chores or things I know I should get done, I think about how annoyed I’ll be later if I didn’t do it.
Future me was very happy that I got off the couch last night. I will remember your words about thinking how annoyed I’ll be later if I don’t get on it.
Now all I can think about is “I have a pork loin in the fridge! All of these things sound delicious!”
The slow cooker pork surprised me. It was delicious.
