I wouldn't mind some cold weather. I'm really tired of the endless sunshine.

Do you put apple and a smidge of brown sugar in your saurkraut? I do.
What a lovely meal that is. I'm going to have to put saurkraut on my
shopping list. I like the kraut with country ribs, pork shoulder and
loin. You're right, the aroma is sublime.

No, no, no, no, no. There is no sweetness at all. It just takes the
very edge off the kraut and rounds the flavor. I'm talking one of the
big Costco jars of kraut, one diced apple, a teaspoon of brown sugar
and pepper and garlic. I really dislike fruit in savory things if I
can tell it is there. OTOH, I never grew up with caraway in food
other than bread (where I love it). I've never put caraway into
kraut. Maybe I'll give it a try. I don't eat the sweet red cabbage
either and don't like the smell of it. But, to each his own )

It's been pretty nice here in my neck of the woods. Tomorrow it's
supposed to be about 72F. But they said if it gets up to 50F on
Wednesday we'll be lucky. With a drastic drop like that you really feel
the difference. Seems like Wednesday would be a good say for a
crock-potted roast.

I have to dredge up something for husband to eat tomorrow since I won't be
home. Wanted to make vegetable soup but I would have to be here to heat it
up as he is clueless about such things. *sigh*

I would not like that. I actually don't like sunshine at all. Can tolerate
it perhaps twice a year. Good thing I live where we don't get much sun!

You are about 50 years old and don't know how to keep her in your killfile,

We were just talking about pork roast with sauerkraut over dinner.
My inlaws also managed to make kind of crispy potato wedges in the
same pan.

What's wrong with bone in pork loin?

I make it with the pork butt, too, and add a finely chopped Granny Smith apple but more caraway seed. Goooooood stuff and the house smells so good when this dish is simmering away in the crockpot.

I see. I haven't had a problem with dried out pork roast with
the bones but I can see that dark meat would have more fat.

I find it difficult to buy much meat with a decent amount of fat running
through it. I managed to get some last week for the first time in ages and
it was sooo succulent We move around a lot with work and a butcher I used
in one place told me I was very unusual because I always added ... not too
lean! He said everyone these days wants only lean meat and he agreed with
me about the quality.

If it were 50 here, I'd open the windows and let in a little fresh air,
maybe grill some steaks.

A reflection on your hopeless teaching skills.

Let him go hungry; it will only take him about five minutes to work it
out for himself.

We haven't gotten to the water freezing in the dog's bucket, but we
are closing in. We are at the point where you need to rinse out the
glass in the bathroom or kitchen sink because a spider is probably
taking a nap in there -- or check out the shower because there is a
spider there. Every creature wants in to the house at this time of
year.

Yep, at least I haven't had to turn the heater on.

It would suit me too, but I think dh wouldn't do so well with it.

The birdbath was frozen this morning. I didn't have time to fix that,
but it's supposed to be sunny today, so it'll probably defrost soon,
even though it's just 31 now and it's predicted to top out at 35.

Yesterday was nasty: rainy and windy. I had a salad for dinner,
anyway. In the house it was a comfy 70.

Tonight will probably be scrambled eggs (I'm a bachelorette while
DH is out of town on business).
