I Might Need To Check His Forehead For Fever

Are you sitting down? I don't want you to collapse with shock at this reveal. I will not be responsible for concussions! No, T-Hoe has not yet received an oil change. But Farmer H has been EATING LEFTOVERS FOR FIVE DAYS! And is willing to eat them for a couple more!!!

Don't think it's my subtle way of trying to kill him. That's not the plan. I bought a smoked pork loin last week at Save A Lot. Sliced it up. Well, half of it. I had Hawaiian sub rolls. Farmer H said he could eat sandwiches with pepperjack cheese. I figured I could get two days of that, maybe three. He added Ruffles potato chips on the side.

On day three, I said I could make some mashed potatoes and green beans to go with it, and he could just have slices of it, warm. No, he said he was fine with the sandwich and chips. Day four, I offered Stove Top Stuffing. Farmer H loves that stuff(ing). But no, he was fine with the sandwich. By now I have sliced the other half, since I have also been eating pork loin for suppers. Mine has been in sandwich form, first with sharp cheddar, then with mayo, then with pickle and onions, then cut up with some frozen fried rice and hoisin sauce.

We continue to pork-loin. It's not like it's going bad. Like ham, it's cured and will last. I was perfectly content to chop up some for freezing, to include in a pot pie when the weather cools off. But Farmer H is happy with his sandwiches. The next side dish will be onion rings, his request, though I'm not sure they go together.

I see another pork loin in our future. A bit more distant future.
