Dinner!

[theatokos]

Tonight will be the first meal cooked in the new apartment. alizarin71 is coming over to help Adam sort comic books and as he's such an enthusiastic consumer of my cooking, I plan to keep the praise coming. I pulled a chunk of meat out of the freezer to thaw. It's one of the last from our CSA. Side of pork. I had no idea what that was until I started googling recipes. Turns out it's uncured bacon! This ain't gonna be a low fat meal, folks! Adam and Alizarin's favorite kind.

Here's what I'm going to make:
fried slices of side of pork
white gravy made from the juices (aka, fat)
biscuits
greens

And there's beer in the fridge for the boys.

Now, since I didn't know I was making this until just now I have no time to make biscuits from scratch. Anyone know of a bakery that makes excellent biscuits in the Berkeley/north Oakland area? Otherwise, I'll be buying some bisquick or somesuch.

It feels like ages since I've actually cooked a real meal. I love it so much and miss having the energy for it.

get the southern style, make sure NOT buttered flavor. They're the best store bought ones I've tried, and I've tried a lot!

and, yum.

Thank you! It'll probably be these for dinner tonight.

Was reading the ol' Empire today and thoroughly missing Juneau. I hope you and Rob are doing well.

Biscuits are easy. Just make 'em.

You come over and make them! Pregnant lady had too much newness in pork belly and white gravy. It all turned out though. You would have thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

Sigh.
