Hot Damn Monday!

Hot today, really hot! Broke the record of 89 degrees F (We hit 90). I had to stop at the Post Office and buy some stamps on the way home, but I did make it home (although slightly damp).

Changed immediately into my workout shorts and T-shirt. I dug out the smoked pork loin, froze half and warmed the other half in the microwave. Then, I shredded it with two forks. BTW, there was a nice smoke ring in the meat (and it tasted fantastic) so I did do some good with my smoking efforts yesterday.

I put the pulled pork in a medium saucepan, added a half a bottle of BBQ sauce and set the burner to simmer (low and slow, low and slow). Next I peeled a nice eggplant, cut it into 3/4 inch slices, dipped each into an egg/milk mixture, then seasoned flour and finally 1/4 inch of Canola oil, heated to 350 degrees in a cast iron skillet. I let them get golden brown on one side, then flipped them with my tongs. I ended up with eight, great eggplant rounds.

I ate two pulled pork sandwiches (on sesame seed hamburger buns) and three slices of eggplant watching taped TV, leaving the cleanup for the morning and made it an early night.

  1. Dad,

    You can't just put on the workout shorts and eat. I don't think that counts as a workout but nice try:)

    Love ya,
