Whole Foods hooked us up with an awesome 4lb cut of pork shoulder. 
- Slow cook with some ancho peppers for about 3 1/2 hours.
- Shred and throw on some toppins 
- Delicious

having Alyx and i over last night was a huge mistake. sure we all had a grand time. sure we ate fine food and sipped fine liquors and smoked fine cigarettes but this evening of levity and delicate tastes will have a day of reckoning! the pendulum swings friend! no good deed unpunished! etc!
i can’t speak for her but i am definitely planning to abuse your culinary talent, generosity and hospitality on the fucking regular. i have your address, enough upper body strength to break down an oak door and no sense of shame. do not test me Joe. deputyjoev:

  6. 192 pounds. i weigh more today than any previous day of my life.

  7. 188 pounds. i weigh more today than any previous day of my life.

  8. my entire upper body is a knotted mess of of ache and i’m on the verge of vomiting at my desk from exhaustion / lack of nutrition. unfortunately, i have to force this chicken stir-fry leftovers down my mouth hole if i want to eat my first meal for the day before my 3.30 meeting in Bronzeville.

    this is an uncomfortable position to be in.

    oh vile husk of flesh and bone, why have you betrayed me?

  9. my landlady’s longtime live-in boyfriend and her split up recently. it was kind of difficult to watch her go through the break up; we’re super close but i’m very fond of her. she’s planning on renovating all the bathrooms in our building and asked my roommate and i to move about 780 pounds of marble tile (in 60 pound increments) from our basement to her third floor apartment. i felt really happy at being useful and supporting her, even if just for menial labor.
in thanks for the help she made us a pot-roast. it was really delicious comfort food for a chilly December day. beef, carrots, potatoes… om nom nom. she delivered it to our door in this charming heart shaped pot. i love my landlady and since she’s been going through a lot lately, so i thought i’d take a funny picture with the pot over my chest to show thanks / cheer her up.
unfortunately in the photo i have that awkward “deer-in-headlights” expression on my face. i’d retake it but i already returned the pot and frankly i don’t know how great a “pot-as-heart” self portrait can be. anyways, she did promise me meatloaf for dinner tonight though… definitely looking forward to that. if anyone has some thoughts on how to cheer her up, i’d like to hear them. she likes cooking, interior decorating and her dog.
