For those keeping score, my pork loin yielded 4 roasts large enough to feed 2 of us with leftovers, plus 12 chops. All are sealed and crammed in the freezer where I could find space. Yay!

I think I’ll bake a pineapple upside down cake now. Yum!

But on facebook, you said you were going to smoke some meat. So, which is true? :dubious:

That is an urban legend.  
No material know to man can cut stale matzoh balls. They are, however, widely recycled as lobster trap weights.

Uh-oh, now you did it! You’re one of the select few in _both_ groups. Remember, the first rule of Fight Club…

Any [del]good[/del] decent (fresh) matzoh ball should be able to do this. I suppose you like cheesecake made with ricotta, too? :dubious:

I’m not going to smoke meat today - it’s way too late and most of the meat is way too frozen. I’m thinking maybe the weekend.

Meanwhile, the cake is in the oven, and I managed it without pearls! 😃 I use crushed pineapple rather than rings, so we’ll get 15 nice servings, each with a cherry on top! 😃

I suppose they’re kosher, too, since you’re using matzo balls for weight. :dubious: 😛

Another day of not doing’ all that much- did some fud shopping, but decided to make bread rather than buy it. It’s not bad, better than the last few attempts. I think I underkneaded a little maybe, but it’s definitely bread not lobster pot weight.

It’s too wet and cold to do much, especially as I don’t have much money spare, and don’t have any irk.

I don’t laugh at you, **flytrap**. I shake my head and snort derisively.

\*\*rosie \*\*is channeling Sheldon!!! :eek:

Supper was OK - salmon, crescent rolls, 'mater salad. Pineapple upside down cake later.

For what was supposed to be a lazy day, I got a lot done. Go me!

Howdy Y’all! Another irk day survived. Always a good thing. I made cabbage ‘n onions with kielbasas and steamed baby carrots for dindin. Tasty and easy, just like how I like my men. OYKW has a gnawin’ and a cravin’ for turtle track ice cream, so he’s gone to the sto’ to get some. I steered him in the direction of the Pubic sto’ cause they always have turtle track ice cream.

That’s pretty much the news from south Jawja.
