I spent the day on housework, laundry -- and slow-roasting four lightly marinated thick pork chops in a covered pan on the grill, with apple, turnip, carrots, onion, celery, a few cherry tomatoes, canned mild chilis, a couple of pickled Piparra peppers, fresh red, yellow, orange and green bell peppers and a half-dozen Shishito peppers. Once it was pretty well cooked down, I added a half-dozen each sliced Castlevetrano and Kalamata olives, a tablespoon of capers and small jar of vegetable-heavy spaghetti sauce.
The pork chops had a little time in a mixture of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, ginger, garlic and a little Cajun seasoning ahead of cooking. The turnip got a dusting of smoked paprika.
Cooking took three hours. The meat fell off the bone, tender and moist.
That you consider laundry and housework as "slacking off" says volumes about your work ethic.
