Dinner tonight: pressure cooker "tacos al pastor" (not authentic but IMO pretty damn good for not having a spit in my kitchen lol). Pork butt with a bunch of things in a marinade, marinated for ~24h, browned and pressure cooked, broiled for ~10 minutes, shredded. Corn tortillas toasted in a cast iron skillet. Served with cilantro and quick pickled shallots.

Holy fucking god were these good. Potentially one of the most delicious things I've ever made.

Cooking things like this and having them come out well gives me a brief reprieve from my depression. Getting the motivation to cook it in the first place is one of the biggest struggles in that regard.

With this, having marinated for 24h in something containing pineapple juice, I know I don't have an endless amount of time to let it marinate lest the meat start disintegrating. It's 11:45 PM and I have to be at work at 4:30 AM :cry:

Healthy. I ate bacalhau à brás ( a Portuguese dish made from shreds of salted cod, onions and thinly chopped baked potatoes, all bound with scrambled eggs. It is usually garnished with kalamata olives from the glass bottle *delicious* (Not one from the canned *YUCKY* no taste) and sprinkled with fresh parsley ). My absolutely favourite!

EDIT: Not my picture but that's what I ate.

The other day was my birthday. My wife made meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and broccoli. I’m the ONLY one who likes this dish. Yes, she loves me THAT much. She is a killer cook and I’m eating all the leftovers.

Meatloaf is my comfort food, by the way.

PS, no pineapples were harmed on this day.
