My godmother passed away this Friday. Not sad about it, I'm glad her suffering is over. Her death was a blessing- she had multiple illnesses and was also insane. So, whatever the next stage is, she's there. In the meantime, that means we have relatives coming out of the woodwork to help take care of her affairs, etc.
And to add more fun, my aunt's fiancée collapsed and broke his arm. Multiple compound fractures. He passed out, it is thought, because of hypotension and/or a low speed heartbeat.
All of THAT means I'm cooking like a madman.
Tonight, I've made mustard greens, cavatappi al fromaggio (fancy Mac & cheese), corn w/diced tomato, steamed broccoli, and pork loin cooked 2 ways.
#1: pot roasted with red & yellow onions, garlic, white & portobello mushrooms, parsley, chives, red & black pepper, bay leaf, celery and cream of celery soup (to make gravy).
#2: oven roasted with yellow & green onions, carrots, celery, white & portobello mushrooms, red & black pepper. (This'n is still cooking- got off to a late start due to participation in a stray dog rescue.)
