Crockpot Pork Roast
I was happy to see TaMara’s crockpot post yesterday. They sure make cooking easy. Mrs J hauled a pork butt out of the freezer and once it thawed we added a bunch of garlic, pushed whole cloves into slits in the meat, salted and peppered it, and added a few cups of chicken stock. Six hours on high and it was ready.
We tossed the veggies with a bit of olive oil and seasoned them with salt and pepper. Tossed a few sprigs of thyme on top and gave them 40 minutes or so at 350.
Slather some butter on that whole clove garlic bread and have at it! Yum!
Movie quotes for $50, Alex…
”As God is my witness, I’ll never be hungry again!”
When I embarrassed myself by not having any bread in the house for the breakfast strata I wanted to make, that quote went through my mind. I’ve been baking bread today.

Éclairs Video
JeffreyW linked to this video in his post on the wonderful Éclairs he and Mrs. J made yesterday. I figured I would go ahead and post it because it is great and I liked the woman doing the cooking, too.
I wouldn’t ever expect to make how-to videos for you. Mostly because I am the messiest cook around. When I’m done it looks like I’ve been playing in the kitchen, not cooking. It’s how I like it – in my mind cooking should be messy. In order to get you guys photos, I always have to make sure I’ve left a spot that’s clean in order to have a decent place to photograph.
Chocolate Eclairs
We had fun making eclairs yesterday afternoon. This recipe looked like it had been tested by plenty of folks and had good reviews. I did a search for a Youtube recipe and found this one. Love the woman in the video. We ended up combining recipes and methods. Jack the dog had the pleasure of licking the filling bowl, he is a real pudding hound, that boy.
