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.

In the crockpot right now! So excited! Maybe my kids will even eat it.
So good! Adults loved it. Kids not so much. Oh well more for me! Thanks for all the great recipes. Couldn’t have lost 70 lbs without you.
I didn’t have lunch for today and this was an easy, overnight solution. Went light on the honey and had to sub ground ginger for fresh (wasn’t sure how much so used about 1/2 T.). Interesting flavors and a snap to make. Thanks for the great recipes!
Made this yesterday with my roommate and it was AMAZING! We live on the 3rd floor and could smell it from the lobby… pretty sure we will be making a lot of new friends! Thanks 🙂
I finally made this! I stalked this blog while I was deployed in Afghanistan and I finally made this, I sorta un-paleo’d this by adding one Leinenkugels Summer Shady beer to it, I also added Cayenne pepper to it (maybe a little too much it was spicy). I love it and now have something for lunch this week, I think the beer cooked off so I feel like it is really paleo. Thanks for the blog and the humor, it really made my time fly by over there.
This ended up being DELICIOUS, but if I hadn’t had someone else at home while it was cooking (and I was at work), it would have burned! I had to use at least twice as much liquid as the recipe suggested. It still ended up working out pretty well, but use caution. Maybe I just have a crock pot with super powers. It also burned the jicama I was trying to soak overnight once.
This is so incredibly good! At least 6 people around me at work have asked what I’m eating because it smells so good. Little do they know, it tastes even better!
Just put it in crockpot now. Hope everyone likes it :). Hope I’ll be able to sleep with all the awesome smells it might keep me up!
Made this for dinner tonight, and it was unbelieably good!!! Far exceeded what I expected! Such a great combination of flavors and so perfect for fall! I served this with baked sweet potatoes and roasted brussels sprouts. Please tell me that this recipe will be in your new cookbook!?
unbelievably – dang! I was typing too fast!!
So I started my Paleo journey just over a week ago, and THIS BLOG has kept me going. Your recipes are awesome, and this dish made the house smell amazing. Served it over cauliflower “rice.” Thank you!!
SO DELICIOUS! I ate it with sweet potato, by itself, cold, hot, topped with an egg…..can’t wait to make it again! maybe i’ll go do that now….
