Premade, Leftover, Homemade

This meal was a little of all of the above.  Instead of rambling, I'll just show you:


This is the Tyson already made roast pork that I bought cheap like two weeks ago, the roasted red potatoes from the other night, and some string beans that I braised.  The pork was nice and tender (as can be expected of something coming out of a vacuum-sealed bag), and the gravy was tasty, very close to being a beef gravy.  The potatoes were still pretty good.  I reheated them in the oven, and I think that kept them from getting really mushy in the microwave.  I have a few regrets about the beans - they were kind of old, and I didn't have fresh garlic to cook with the beans.  All in all, though, this made for a good, easy dinner on a night when I came back at 7 p.m. after a relatively grueling work day.

Here's a nickel's worth of free advice:  Get more than four hours of sleep.  Okay, that's a command, but I had good intentions.

P.S.  Thomas had another pound of ground beef, so we had tacos again for lunch and ate up the rice and beans.  It was a glorious lunch.  I'm certain that I could never get tired of tacos, soft or fried, guac or no guac, chicken, beef, carnitas, asada, al pastor, shrimp, or scallops.  Heaven must have a guilt-free all-you-can-eat taco bar.
