Hello!

Yesterday's food went well and I am inundated with leftovers.  Leftover cabbage, leftover pork bbq couscous, leftover pork shoulder and leftover bbq sauce.  Goody - I love leftovers.

Yesterday, I decided to have just fruit for breakfast so no photo.

Leftovers lunch was a portion of curry and posh rice with some cheese (nicer than it sounds or looks) and some cooling yogurt.   Very satisfying and very filling too.

Dinner was the pulled pork in a spicy, bbq-y sauce.  Sadly, the pork didn't 'pull' even after eight hours in the slow cooked.  No idea why not.  Maybe it was the 'wrong kind of pork', perhaps it should have been leg.  It was tender enough, it just wouldn't shred easily.
The sauce was lovely, totally delicious, and I am very glad there's loads left.  I ended up making some couscous with chicken stock powder, added some of the pork and some strained onion and apple plus some sauce and mixed it together.  I also used the sauce as a gravy on the veg.  It was very, very, very nice and there's loads left over for another day.

I'll post the recipe for the pork and sauce although it is really a 'throw it in and taste it' sort of idea.

Today's meal plans:
B:  fruit and yogurt
SW: free

L:  warm shredded (as shredded as I can manage anyway!) pork in a roll with a side salad; apple
I'll warm up the pork in the microwave so maybe it will shred more easily and mix it with some of the sauce before piling it into a roll spread with cheese spread of some kind.  Mmmmm.
SW:  one heA, one heB and one syn for the sauce

D:  sliced slow cooked pork with more of the sauce, assorted veg (I'm well off for veg); yogurt and/or fruit
SW:  one syn for the sauce - I am counting one syn for a portion of sauce but, given how much I have, it could be less that that.  However, I'd rather over than under estimate.

S:  fruit

Body Magic:  allotment work (weather permitting)
