April 18, 2020 Brunch – Egg, Potato, onion, and Sausage burrito. Snack – Pot Roast over Pasta. Dinner – Pork Roast Cooked with Tomatillo Sauce, with sweet potatoes and steamed green beans

Around 9:00 I peeled and cubed two small russet potatoes.  Suzette Cooked them in a Pyrex loaf dish covered with Saran in the microwave.  Then Suzette sautéed the potatoes in a large skillet with oil and butter and 3 oz. of minced onion, 3 oz. of pork sausage, and four cloves of garlic. Suzette then whisked three eggs and added them to the skillet and heated 2 flour tortillas over the gas burner on the stove to toast them.

She ladled ½ of the scrambled egg medley onto each flour tortilla.  I sprinkled Valencia red chili sauce and crumbled panels queso fresco on my eggs and ate it like an open faced sandwich with a knife and fork.

We then planted snow peas and radishes in one of the raised beds.  It was 1:00 by the tine we finished and Suzette was hungry, so she heated the PPI Pot Roast and spaghetti and made us plates which we garnished with slices of Parmesan cheese.

We opened a bottle of 2015 Joseph Drouhin Beaujolais from Suzette’s resTaurant that was very drinkable, rather smooth and lovely with the pot roast.

Then at 2:30 I started prepping dinner. I chopped 1 large onion, 5 cloves of garlic, and 1 Pasilla chili and sautéed them in a large pot.  I then diced about two lb. of tomatillos and added them.  Suzette then added water to emulsify the sauce and cilantro and fresh oregano from the garden.  I lay down to nap and Suzette took over.  When I awakened at 4:30 Suzette had emulsified the Tomatillo sauce and was searing the approximately 5 lb. pork leg we bought at El Super through our shopping and delivery service.  Suzette then put the seared pork roast into a large covered casserole and poured most of the Tomatillo sauce over it and baked it in the oven for 3 ½ hours.

Suzette also put the four sweet potatoes we bought at El Super in the oven to bake with the pork.

At 7:30 we snapped the rather beleaguered green beans we had bought from El Super and steamed them at around 7:45.

At 8:00 we served dinner.  The pork literally fell of the bone.  Suzette removed a potato from its skin
and plated it with a spoonful of steamed string beans and I pulled a chunk of pork off the roast and ladled Tomatillo sauce over it.

I went to the garage and fetched 4 Negra Modelos and we ate a fabulous dinner as we watched a Father Brown Mystery.

We then watched Death in Paradise and Suzette went to bed at 10:00.

I stayed up to read and blog.  I am reading Grant by Chernow and drank a couple cups of chai.
Bon Appetit
