Notes from a bemused canuck
So, on Saturday, I woke up to this:
Don’t worry, she loves it, for all that she complains about the weight on her bladder.
My leg is a cat magnet.
And then on Sunday, there was an interloper in Pavel’s box, so he took refuge in the fresh laundry.
And then I came into the bedroom and saw that my cat was using the duvet as a pillow.
This year is the 2nd 50th annual tulip festival in Morges (because, you know, last year sucked!). This is what I see when I run through the park these days.
250g feta
2 tbsp olice oil
3 tbsp ajvar
3 sundried tomatoes
1 tsp italian herbs
Salt & pepper, to taste
Combine all ingredients and blend with a stick blender. Serve with crusty bread or crudités.
1kg Pork Shoulder Roast
1L Coke
1 large onion
1 tbsp Onion Powder
1 tbsp Paprika
1 tbsp Black Pepper
1 tbsp Kosher Salt
1 bottle BBQ Sauce
Remove any thick slabs of pure fat from outside of roast.
Mix spices together and rub over surface of roast. Place roast in slow cooker. Peel and quarter onion.
Pour Coke over roast to just cover.
Cover and set on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. Meat should basically be falling apart.
Discard all but 1/2 cup of juices from slow cooker.
Shred meat using 2 forks. Return shredded meat to slow cooker. Add reserved juices and BBQ sauce to slow cooker and mix well.
Set on low and cover for 30 minutes before serving.
We’ve been hosting Eric since last Tuesday. He’s a big bag of (not-too-smart) love. Like most labs, he’s 49% stomach, 49% bladder and 2% tongue. As usual when we have a dog around, Tolstoy turns into (more of) an asshole.
Last night, Katy and I (sever times) : do you have anything to do for this morning?
Ben: no.
This morning, Ben : I have math and German stuff to finish for today.
Me : but you said last night that you didn’t have anything.
Ben : No!!!! I said so, but you ignored me, like you always do.
…..
Ben : I don’t understand how to do this
Me : trying to explain.
Ben : NO!!!! THAT’S NOT HOW WE DO IT!
……
FML.
