You know when you’re in your car, driving away, listening to tunes, dancing (if you’re cool) and you start picking your nose, thinking for some reason no one can see you? No? I’m alone. Cool. I’m good at being the lone ranger. I do wonder how many people have seen me pick my nose though. Probably an alarming amount. But I’m really good with humiliation…obviously. I do it daily. Might as well do it in front of the public eye rather than just via blog posts. I won’t pick my nose in my cooking videos though, hopefully. My mother would literally stab me. Kidding.
My white bath mat has turned blue. I’m not sure what situation he got himself into to make himself change colors, but I’m angered with him because of it. Ok, it was actually my fault. I washed him with my darks. Why am I acting like my bath mat is a human being? God I’m weird.
Guess what Steph, Laura and I just got? Meaning guess what Steph just bought? A mini disco ball. For our living room. YEP. THAT’S RIGHT. We are going to have a legit dance part in our house. Sh*t is going to get wild. Meaning I’m going to be the DD and dance like a fool first in our living then on the dance floor at some random bar. You know when you’re at a bar and you see a girl dancing like a fool and you say “Wow, that girl is hammered”…yeah, I’m totally the girl you are talking about. But I’m not hammered. I just left my dignity at home with the disco ball.
Has pork ever made you feel drunk? This pork kind of made me feel a bit drunk. Maybe it was the two Americanos I had before I ate that made me talk a million words a second (exhibit A: the three paragraphs above) or the fact I just made love to some Coconut Creme Concentrate, either way, this pork was delicious. I freaking love ginger. I seriously only want to go to sushi get the ginger on the side of the plate. I hate sushi. I always tried to like it because it made me feel cool and mature, but when I eat it I feel like I’m going to crumble over and die. At least I can still eat ginger at sushi restaurants and have a really fresh palate. Fresh palates are cool.

Thank you for the warning….never know when you want to take a big slurp right out the pot only to be scalded. You really do look out for your readers…and for that, I love you
I love reading your posts! Your style is very unique and fun! I’ve only tried your chili so far and it was very good.
Mmm, I have all this on hand. I think I’ll make it tomorrow.
I made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! My roast was over 3 pounds and I with 3 of us eating, I only had enough left for lunch tomorrow! I need a bigger crock pot! Thanks for the great recipe!
Well, I have to say, this was TERRIFIC. It made a savory/(almost) sweet combo that we were craving. It helped that our apples were of the Crispin variety!
Juli, first of all I want to say that 4 out of the 5 weekdays I rely on your recipes for dinner, i simply dont thin I could live without them at this point.
However this recipe threw me for a loop. I was so excited for some sweet pork and mine came out a little bland! Is it possible it cooked for too long or that my meat didn’t have enough fat? Do you have any suggestions?
that’s so weird!! it probably needed a bit more salt and ginger maybe
I made this on Thursday night and finally tasted it today (monday) for lunch. It is AWESOME! I i had a 1.5 lb pork sirloin in the freezer and used the same amount of ingredients for everything else. I put my onions and apples thru the food processor which makes life so much easier!
this recipe is so delicious! i love it!
I don’t eat pork, but do you think this would work with goat?
No clue. I’ve never eaten goat
Hi Juli! I’m thinking about making this tonight 🙂 What would you serve this with?
I think it would be great with any veggie! I like a little burnt Brussels sprouts with anything
Holy moly, LOVED this. So delish.
Thoughts on subbing apple cider for chicken broth? I have some in my fridge.
