Best Leftovers I Ever Had

Pork Roast and Swiss Chard

It goes without saying that they weren't leftovers the day we made it, but I'm glad we made more than we could eat. I kind of wish that S. and I weren't so hungry and had some more patience, otherwise I would have had a picture of the whole roast. As it was, it was hard enough to take this picture because I was ready to DEVOUR. It's the tragedy of making delicious meals that take a long time on the stove or in the oven; the aromas that come from the kitchen really get my digestive juices going...one of these days I'm going to have an ulcer and S. will have to pamper me and make me everything I wanna eat. Maybe that's not so bad. Especially after he surprised me with how great his chard was; we followed Thomas Keller's recipe for the veg, which included golden raisins and pine nuts. The pork was juicy, peppery, and tender enough so that even after I microwaved it a couple days later it was still delectable. Next time I'm going to have to plan ahead and make a lot more for leftovers.

For some sweet leftovers for the week, I made a bunch of drop mini blueberry muffins; baked with cream rather than milk or water, the muffins were very distinctly ...creamy. Duh. I'm on a muffin kick now, be on the watch for more tiny muffitos!

Tiny Blueberry Muffins!
