Bah! I generally wake up that way. This week, I've been going through
old freezer meat after I wake up. I cooked pork loin slices from July of
last year tonight in some sort of marinated wok concoction. My wife said
it was "not her favorite" which is the kiss of death for further
attempts.

I vow to quit feeding DW old freezer meat for a year. There's only a
couple of days to go before last year's meat is gone. It's really hard
to sort out packages of this and that and figure out what to cook.
I ain't promising anything.
