Dec. 2nd, 2017 02:28 pm Today's Instant Pot thing is pulled pork for tacos - specifically I made carnitas. I didn't have orange or pineapple juice on hand but I did have a tree full of calamondins, and after juicing the basket I picked, I had enough for this recipe and enough left over to make something like a small cheesecake or a batch of cupcakes. And the sour juice made amazing pork - it just needed more seasoning but that was my fault. The recipe said to add the rest of the dry rub to the pot but I worried about making it too spicy for Fox. I keep forgetting that his tastes have changed a LOT from when I very first met him and he thought buffalo wing sauce was too hot. (And has now ended up with someone who thinks buffalo wing sauce is an appropriate topping for oatmeal.) But it still tastes amazing and the meat is so tender it falls apart if you look at it sideways.
I'm killing some time before I head to the airport to pick him up. His flight doesn't get here until 10, which will put us home after midnight and somehow I have a 19-mile run Sunday, wonder how that's gonna work. Well, to be honest I may be running on much less than optimal sleep at RunDisney so I'll consider this part of my training. I made a tray of chocolate granola that I'm waiting on from the oven and then, aside from feeding the cats I'm mostly done for the day. I was considering going out early for a few errands but...
A. I don't wanna.
B. I can do it Tuesday on my normal errand day
C. I don't wanna.
Though I might drop by Publix real quick for some radishes and baby spinach for my tacos. I'm kind of a sucker for radishes and I'm working up the nerve to try pan-roasted radishes with lemon butter. It's a French recipe I found online. I have never had cooked radishes but raw ones are my snack of choice while other people have stuff like apple slices or baby carrots.
So I think I'm going to clean myself up and see if I can catch a short nap.
