Today starts off wonderful and then it just kept getting better by the minute! After an early morning drive around the village and country, started a small pot of homemade chicken noodle soup from our leftover cornish hen carcass. Added some no salt chicken broth to top it up and got 3 bowls of wonderful very tasty soup for lunch. While I was doing this Suzie whipped into the Stratford hospital to visit her Dad.

Then I set to "work"? - fun, puttering around the yard,(fresh air, sunshine and exercise) getting very warm, next thing I know I am in shorts and T shirt before noon ! Now this is why we here for this amazing weather!

Now we back at "Camp Awesome" and enjoyed some afternoon reading in the warm sunshine. Temps up to 19c (68F) some toasty warm in the sun, gotta love it !
I had picked up a wonderful Pork Loin roast only $1.77 a lb , over 6 lbs. I cut it up and got 6 large boneless pork chops and 2 large pork roasts not to shabby for $11.79

Then about 4:30 fire up our Weber Q 100 preheat for 15 minutes, turn to low and set this pork roast on the grill after marinating with a rub and olive oil for the afternoon in the fridge, close the lid for about an hour or so , turn once until internal temp 145f. Last 20 minutes I set a cored apple on the grill with cinnamon inside the core and was so very tasty.

ReplyDeleteI love getting deals like that on meat. We are the same way, buy a big one and then cut it up for future meals and put it in the freezer.
Glad the weather has finally improved.
