I REALLY like the pork roast recipe - it is almost like crack!
I love pulled pork. I'll have to try this recipe. (I normally use shoulder, and I think it'll work. I'll just have to cut it up so that I can suitably brown it.)
B: cereal, 1% milk, 1 banana, coffee
Snack: 1 small cup of canned peaches
L: 1 chicken thigh, noodles with parmesan, green beans
D: fettucini pasta, fresh tomato sauce, with sauteed red onion, lots of garlic, like 8 cloves, and then quick cook the diced tomatoes (red and yellow) just to warm them, serve with parmesan reggiano on top, small salad, 1 glass red wine (I cooked some crumbled italian sausage for hubby to put over his pasta cause he wanted meat). I just love, love, love this pasta and it is soooo simple.

I have to have blood work done tomorrow AM, so no more food tonight. Just knowing that is making me want to eat!

Buying it. While I like to cook, I am not that ambitious! A new olive oil/vinegar store opened up in town and while it's pricey, it's cheaper than ordering it from Spain, which I had been doing after my trip in 2010. I also have chocolate infused vinegar.
Back from blood work; having to drive my DH's SUV was more traumatic than the blood work (my car is in for service). Had a very good breakfast as we are going to go on a 40 mile ride today. It's school vacation week here, so my schedule has been quite different, with more time for riding.
