You know how pork usually dries out when you try to roast it?
The one we made last night didn't.
We'd been looking through our new Roasting cookbook, and then I found a pork shoulder on sale and suggested roasting it with apples. Chuckro cobbled together a recipe from three or four different ones. He brined it, seared it, and then roasted it with the apples. The result was tender and flavorful...and juicy. Really juicy. And the apples fell apart into delicious mush that could be smeared on the pork. This with fresh bread, a salad of pears, red lettuce, pecans and cheese with a vinaigrette, and chocolate toffee wedges with a nice muscat wine...oh, such a delicious dinner.
Due to a mishap involving character sheets being left somewhere not our house, the planned rpg didn't happen. Instead, we pulled random pre-gened character sheets and Chuckro ended up running us through a scenario that he'd planned for his online D&D group. Since we were playing really, really random Mage characters instead, hilariousness ensued. I can't say much more, since people reading this will get run through this scenario later, in more seriousness, but we ended up trying to make an evil sorceror into stew with a crockpot that started life as a cursed sword...
