Dinner, Feb 18

Since we slept in today, we didn't have lunch. I had my regular smoothie for breakfast, then mid-afternoon Brianne went to the freezer for some meat for dinner. She thought she was bringing in pork chops, but actually brought in another pork roast. 

I didn't want to make the same thing I made earlier this week, so I googled a bit for ideas and finally decided to make a slow-cooker balsamic pork roast. 

In addition to the frozen one-pound pork loin roast, I put the following into the slow cooker and set it on High:

4 cloves of garlic, minced

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

1 Tbsp Worchestershire sauce

2 Tbsp ponzu sauce

1/2 tsp pink Himalayan salt

After about 1.5 hours, I added one cup of store-bought vegetable broth and 1/2 cup rice vinegar, plus one onion (cut into wedges) and two small carrots (cut into pieces). 

In another hour or so, I was able to cut the roast into 4 large chunks. After that, it only took another hour for it to be ready to eat. I didn't make any additional vegetables because I'm still not over this head cold and I'm just exhausted. 👎🤧

We ate the whole thing and it was tender and yummy!
