After having a couple of full weekends this month, I am grateful to have a few days with nothing planned to recoup. Especially since I've got some kind of a bug- nothing horrible, just a congested head and an affinity to sweatpants.
Being homebound helped me make two breakthroughs in the kitchen. First was a pork roast to use up apple butter- I want to believe a pork roast can be as good as a beef roast. With enough rosemary and garlic, even the potatoes were a savory delight. Topped with apple butter mixed with evaporated milk, I felt like some kind of executive chef. Second, was to conquer Black Bean Soup. This turned out to be an incredibly yummy way to clear out the veggie drawer, and it tastes right too! The trick was Trader Joe's black beans and taco seasoning- Matt hopes I can do it again. The fridge is now stocked for a week of hearty eating, which sounds like a productive weekend.
