typical run + CSA adventures
Hey there! It’s pouring, pouring rain in Nashville so it was another morning that went like this:
Not a scenic run, but at least I had a beautiful carrot-apple-ginger juice afterward.
And another fitness adventure is on the menu today. I’ll keep you posted!
I also wanted to keep you posted on our CSA! I mentioned a while back that we had joined a CSA (community-supported agriculture) and it’s been a pretty fun experiment so far. Every week we pick up three meats, a breakfast meat, and a carton of eggs from Avalon Acres farm. Each week is a surprise — so I’ve learned to cook everything from lamb chops to pork shoulder. FUN.
This week we got pork loin roast. After some intense Googling, I decided to just throw it in the slow cooker with some spices and barbecue sauce (sort of like this recipe) and see what happened. The result:
Pretty good! After slow cooking for a good ten hours, the meat was super intense in flavor. Good thing we had some toasty bread to balance everything out:
and a side of simple steamed spinach to get our greens in!
And beer (plus my fun Baltimore rat glass). Because.
Alright friends, I gotta run! Not really “run” run though — I already did that. Have a good one!
