Well…as the fallout from trying to sleep without aids continues today, I really don’t feel like working at all….have been sneezing and coughing all day and feel pretty worn out but haven’t been able to take a nap this afternoon to try to help it…but I haven’t done much else, either, other than make some pickled red onions to use on the pork tacos I’m going to make tomorrow….I did get an 8 1\/2 pound pork shoulder to cook in the instant pot tomorrow and I am going to make some mashed potatoes and asparagus to go with it…or I may do potatoes and carrots and make a gravy from the cooking liquid or maybe an au jus that will be just the cooking liquid without any thickening….or maybe both…I am going to add some veggie broth for the cooking liquid with some celery, garlic, onion, peppercorns, and carrots for taste along with a couple of bay leaves and just set the shoulder in the liquid without the lifting grate that normally goes in the bottom….this should make enough protein to keep me going for the next week or so without taking anything out of the freezer…and I got some Texas style boneless ribs that I am going to just portion out and freeze since I won’t need them til next week…oh, and I did get a huge bottle of laundry soap at Menard’s for 8 bucks along with the new strip that says it will strip anything in 2 minutes but I’ll believe that when I see it….I even hit the dollar store to get some 100w led bulbs to continue to replace all of the CFL’s that are all over this house and that don’t put out a lot of light….and I put gas in the car at the highest price I’ve ever paid at 4.19 but I’m okay with that….anything to help beat Putin….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
