The pork roast from last night was re-purposed tonight. When I was cooking it yesterday, I was trying to figure out a meal for today. We’re a waste-not-want-not kinda place here. No-regrets shopping. We buy it – we eat it. It makes for some interesting meals now and again.
Winter is good because a pot of soup or a casserole can hide a multitude of sins. Spring and summer salads hide the fresh bounty.
It works for us.
So tonight, the leftover pork simmered in a bottle of store-bought BBQ sauce and served on little rolls was the perfect leftover meal. Store-bought frozen french fries completed the plate.
Yes, even moi takes shortcuts now and again. I don’t always have to grow and mill the wheat and bake the bread in order to make a sandwich. Not every time, anyway.
I have to get lots of good eating in this week because Victor is heading to London on Sunday for 5 days. My otherwise stellar eating habits go straight to hell when he takes off for a business trip. Cybil and I live on chili dogs and corned beef hash with fried eggs for days on end.
The other part of his going away for a few days is coming up with a secret household project while he’s gone.
I have a couple in mind right now…
Stay tuned…..
