I&#8217;d decided to try a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbcgoodfood.com\/recipes\/bbq-pulled-pork\">pulled-pork recipe<\/a> today which cooks for 5 hours (ended up being more like 6 hours, and I even think it could have done with longer to really get to the &#8220;falling apart&#8221; level) &#8211; so getting that in the oven was the first thing which meant I didn&#8217;t get breakfast until about 11am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was feeling a bit better today (although I hit a wall in the middle of the afternoon and got tired and grouchy). Unfortunately D wasn&#8217;t feeling so good today and spent a lot of it curled up on the sofa reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After I&#8217;d had breakfast and had coffee while watching F do a self-designed obstacle course in the garden (a result of watching too much <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ultimate_Beastmaster\">Ultimate Beast Master<\/a>), I started off some dough for some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbcgoodfood.com\/recipes\/brioche-buns\">brioche buns<\/a> &#8211; I wanted to try a different recipe to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/2020\/05\/may-13th-2020\/\">the brioche I made in May<\/a> and I thought I might as well try the one recommended alongside the pulled-pork recipe. I had some misgivings about the recipe (who measures butter in tablespoons?) and I struggled with the recipe a bit &#8211; despite 20 minutes kneading I didn&#8217;t manage to get the dough to the kind of consistency I&#8217;d expect. However, despite this (and it contributing to my grouchiness in the afternoon) the results were OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final part part of the dish was a barbecue sauce made with the juices from the pork. I half (or even quarter) followed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbcgoodfood.com\/recipes\/homemade-chipotle-molasses-bbq-sauce\">another BBC Good Food recipe<\/a> but mainly did it by taste and ended up with a couple of jars of tasty BBQ sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The end result was a success &#8211; F, B and I all enjoyed the pork &amp; BBQ sauce and we all enjoyed the brioche buns (D had her&#8217;s with veggie sausages)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_6460-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1021\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_6460-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_6460-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_6460-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_6460-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_6460-800x1067.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_6460-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay safe, stay strong<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Feeling:\u00a0Up and down Listening to:\u00a0Nothing today Watching:\u00a0Strike Up late today (around 10am).
