I love food.

For Valentine's weekend, the boy and I cooked each other food. He made breakfast. An egg sunny side up (he gave me the good one), with pork roll and canadian bacon. Waffles on the side!



It was so good. I almost didn't have room for my pulled pork and homemade coleslaw! Unfortunately, I forgot to take a pic, but I drew one up. I think this somewhat accurately portrays the joy that was the pulled pork sandwich.


The best part of the pulled pork, was how EASY it was. I forgot how friggin awesome a slow cooker is. Here's the recipe:

2 lbs. pork, chopped in large chunks (I used a pork roast I found on sale)
1 can rootbeer
a few squirts of worchestershire sauce

Put all of that in the slow cooker on low and cook for 7 hours.
Drain. Shred the pork with a fork. (heh heh...rhyming is fun)
Add an 18 oz. bottle of BBQ sauce (I used Stubb's Spicy BBQ Sauce. LOVE)
Mix it all up and devour!

As for the coleslaw...I mixed together mayo, cider vinegar and sugar until it tasted like coleslaw (very precise, I know), and poured that over shredded cabbage and carrots. Yummm. Oh, and pepper. Gotta have pepper.

coOoOoOokie crisp.

I've come to realize that I only eat cereal as a dessert. Which makes perfect sense since I'd rather eat a bowl of chef boyardee raviolis for breakfast than pancakes with sausage on the side (*barf). My food timing is off I suppose. And I'm guessing it's all my mom's fault since she'd reguarly feed us pancakes for dinner when I was in highschool...trying to pawn it off as something exciting. Which maybe it was for everyone else, but I was never really a pancake person.

Much to my delight today, Lou bought cereal! And it was the perfect finisher to our chili dinner. (which I neglected to take a picture of when I should have because Lou was the one that actually made it! ...always good to document these momentous occassions).

Cookie Crisp is in my top five favorite cereals, I'm pretty sure. The list changes every now and then. Kix and Lucky Charms are always up there too, with Fruity Pebbles popping in and out.



Once when I was little and my grandma was babysitting me, she gave me a plate with fruity pebbles on it as a snack. I remember thinking "who puts cereal on a plate??". I must have been only 7 or so. It was a pain to balance on my lap as I watched cartoons. It's such a strange fruity pebbles memory.

I think Spike likes Cookie Crisp too. That..and french fries, spaghetti, and any other thing he can get his paws on.
