Ham salad sammich on lightly toasted sourdough with homemade sides of baked beans, potato salad, slaw, and a Greek salad from the Kroger deli. The ham salad is with dill relish and onions – it really wanted to be on rye but I had none.
Smoked pork sammy with slaw on top, sides of the same beans and potato salad.

Taco Tuesday
Smoked pork with diced and fried potatoes are the base of these tacos and then everything else just piles on. I fried the flour tortillas briefly in oil, it improves their flavor, takes some of that raw taste out of them.
Another Hot Mess
I just can’t quit you. I’m not even gonna put you down for a while.
Bless His Noodly Appendages, Ramen.
I had chicken soup left so I added ramen, another egg, and some fresh garnishes and made another lunch out of it.
Sunday Pot Roast: Instant Pot and Slow-Cooker Recipes
In my quest to update some of my older recipes for Instant Pot style cooking, here is one of my favorites. I love being able to set this up and an hour and a half later have a perfectly cooked pot roast – tender and flavorful – along with all the sides.
Sunday Pot Roast
- 4 lbs Pot Roast (chuck roast)
- ¼ cup good whiskey (or red wine)
- ¼ cup beef broth or water (more if needed)
- 1 tsp rosemary
- 2 bay leaves (remove before serving)
- ½ tsp salt & pepper
- 1 large onion, quartered
- 6 medium potatoes, quartered
- 1 lb bag baby carrots

Cord Cutting
I said goodbye to my Dish satellite subscription, finally. We’ve had adequate broadband speeds for a while now and have been streaming through Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and a brand new Youtube TV subscription. All the movie channels we were paying for through Dish we can get somewhere else. The local news and weather is available with Youtube TV, plus all the other minor networks. Mrs J can still get her OWN network fix in. One of the best selling points for these subscriptions is that you can drop them anytime. Don’t want HBO full time but there is a series you would like to catch coming up? Sign up, watch it, then dump it when it’s done. Those bingeable series you can maybe squeeze in during a free trial week.
Naturally, once I sent all the Dish gear back, my ISP (Frontier) announced bankruptcy. I have hopes that they will work through it without our losing our broadband. I was shook, though, so I checked out the new-ish Verizon owned service called Visible. My interest was piqued by the offer of unlimited data for $40 a month. I had an extra phone that works with their SIM card so I ordered a month’s service and put the SIM the phone, downloaded the app, and fired it up. So far the data speeds (via hotspot) have been sufficient to watch any of the streams I’ve signed up for with at least DVD quality. Fingers crossed! They are saying the hotspot speeds will be capped at 5Mbps and they will allow only one hotspot linked device at a time but so far they haven’t stood firm on that. Worse comes to worse we can get another Visible account
Have a nice bowl of chicken noodle soup, with an egg.
As an added bonus, here’s a woodpecker complaining that someone has stolen his feet, probably.
