Post-partium
Posted on Monday, November 21st, 2022 at 7:30 amTRD is over. My second missed party had me listed as conspicuous in my absence. It’s what happens when one becomes synonymous, 42 years and two no-shows, ’19 and ’22, both short term health related.
It’s raining again. The bank run will probably be tomorrow or Wednesday, both forecast with fair weather.
The pulled pork production is history. Dishes washed, dried, and put away, no visual clues, outside of refrigeration, that the process ever happened. No need to cook for a few days. The aroma therapy and big cook helped me get through TRD, key seasonal elements of the experience. I miss the familiar faces.
.
Boston butt shoulder roast, sweet yellow onion, chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, pork rub (brown sugar base), minced garlic, sage, basil, oregano, marjoram, thyme. 16 hour cook time, first two hours on high temp, remainder on low. Yummy stuff, Myka approved.
There is still sausage gravy and cheese risotto in the fridge. There is plenty to carry me over to Thanksgiving. I’m thinking jambalaya. No bird this year, the freezer is plenty full without it. I have filled my lifetime quota for traditional turkeys.
