Back to Work

                                        Back to Work
Kitchen update:  met with our kitchen designer and tweaked the plans a bit.  Chose hardware, sink, counter top and faucet.  I really tried to go with my first impulse and not second guess myself.  I love what I have picked out and can't wait to see it all put together in my kitchen.  The gas stove and hood, microwave, and dishwasher have all been purchased.  When it came to appliances I pretty much tried to go for the mid price range, white and clean designs.  
      School starts in two days so I am putting together a folder of kitchen remodel survival recipes.  I have a hard enough time cooking when I teach full time and now with a gutted kitchen it is really going to be a challenge.  I did what I do when I want to find out information....I googled it!  And yes there were many blogs and sights with recipes for the kitchen deprived.  Many, many people have lived to tell the tale of their cooking during a kitchen remodel!  
     So what did I learn from this latest round of kitchen work?  Trust my instincts and don't second guess myself.  I know what I like.  Also, there is nothing new under the sun,  somebody has been thru what I am going thru and  
I can glean some good advice (recipes) from them.

Here is a keeper recipe I found and tried:
Pulled Pork

pork loin
root beer
bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce

Put pork loin in slow cooker and cover with root beer.  Cook on low for 6 hours.  Take port loin out of the root beer and shred it.  Add your barbecue sauce to your shredded pork.  Serve on buns!


this is our latest favorite barbecue sauce...Rufus Teague Honey sweet!  Sooo good.
