COMFORT FOOD

Tuesday, December 21, 2010

Charlotte and I have been cutting back on eating big meals, going to the gym four days a week, and getting ready for big Christmas Eve and Christmas Day meals.

It's working. We feel better. Our clothes fit us better. And my blood sugar readings are much better.

And now, just a few days before Christmas, we are breaking from this rigid routine.

We did go to the gym yesterday and today and we will go again Thursday. 

But this morning I put a pork roast in the slow cooker and left it to cook on high for seven hours. Tonight we will have pulled pork sandwiches and Memphis style cole slaw.

It is overcast today. Rain is moving in from California. It's a great day for staying inside by the fireplace and reading a good book.

There is one big problem---the smell of barbecue pork.

There are still four hours to go. Pray that I make it.
