Work days, that is.
Today (the first day of my 8-day work stretch) started out okay. Unfortunately, I was working on something and didn’t get to bed until late last night and then Milly woke me up at ~ 3:30 and then 4:30. So I was really sleepy when I woke up, but a cup of Pumpkin Spice coffee fixed that!
Tonight we made Molasses Pork (E-mealz recipe, of course!) that had been marinating x 24 hours. The marinate was molasses + vinegar + salt + course Dijon mustard. This was the first time I had ever used/seen/tasted molasses. It was much more syrup-y than I imagined. I always thought molasses had a jelly-like consistency.
Not a great picture.
It was good. I made Thelma’s garden green beans, Alexia biscuits and instant mashed potatoes on the side. (I know, I know. I’m cringing as I type it.) I will, however, NEVER buy pork at “the Pig" again. (However, I would certainly not be opposed to owning a t-shirt that says “Get your pig on.” ) It was so fatty; I had to cut huge chunks of it and just could not get all of the fat off.
Tonight I did a Marathon Makeover workout. 30 minutes on the treadmill. I had so much energy for some reason – the time just flew by!
Now I just finished my sleepytime tea have to get in bed – if I can tear myself away from Cold Mountain!
