BUSY SUNDAY

ANNA IS STILL BACKED UP FROM BEING ABSENT FROM SCHOOL FOR A WEEK WHEN WE WERE SICK. I HELPED HER OUT LAST NIGHT BY DOING THE ITALIAN WORD SEARCH. IT TOOK ME AN HOUR :[ .

REX NAPPED IN THE ADJACENT CHAIR TILL I WAS DONE. I LOVE HEARING DOGS SNORE :}!

CAUGHT THE END OF GREASE ON THE FAMILY CHANNEL,YIPPP!

THIS IS HALF OF THE PULLED PORK OUT OF THE SAUCE GETTING SHREDDED UP.

I USE A 10 INCH PORK LOIN WHICH I CUT IN HALF.

IN THE POT I MIXED UP COCA COLA, CHICKEN BROTH, SOME BROWN SUGAR AND HONEY BBQ SAUCE,  ACTUAL BROWN SUGAR, A FEW SQUIRTS OF HONEY AND A GOOD CUP OF APPLE CIDER VINEGAR. STIRRED IT UP AND ADDED THE PORK . I BROUGHT IT TO A SIMMER AND COVERED IT. COOKED IT ON LOW HEAT FOR 5 1/2 HOURS. TOOK PORK OUT AND SHREDDED IT UP . PUT IT BACK IN POT WITH SAUCE FOR ANOTHER 30 MINUTES. EAT ON ROLLS OR BY ITSELF. YUMMM!

AUNT NINA TOLD ME ABOUT AN ICE TEA SHE USED TO GET AT A DELI . SHE LOVED IT AND FOUND OUT THE RECIPE. ITS SLOW BREWED, MEANING NO BOILED WATER. YOU LET THE TEA BAGS STEEP OVER NIGHT IN COLD WATER.

I USED ABOUT ONE GALLON OF WATER, 1 1/2 CUPS LEMON JUICE, ABOUT 1/2 CUP SUGAR AND A OVERFLOWING CUP OF HONEY, OH AND 6 TEA BAGS OF COURSE, LOL.

ITS BASICALLY HALF AND HALF IF YOUR FAMILIAR WITH THAT.

 OH AND BY THE WAY, A NICE STRONG LEMONADE SWEETENED WITH HONEY IS AMAZINGGGG!!!

YOU CAN MAKE IT STRONGER TEA WISE IF YOU'D LIKE BY JUST ADDING MORE TEA BAGS.

I FILLED MY BIG POTS WITH SOME STYROFOAM SO I DON'T NEED TONS OF DIRT AND SO THE POTS WILL BE A BIT LIGHTER. I CANT WAIT TO PUT MY STARTED SEEDS IN THEM!

JUST CLEANING AND ORGANIZING SOME PAPERS RIGHT NOW WHILE DRINKING MY YUMMY TEA :}.

GONNA GET OUTSIDE IN A BIT. ITS GORGEOUS!!

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY! :}
