Have a Monday everyone. It’s time to do this whether we like it or not. Grace and peace everyone.
Oh, Hey It’s Monday!
Honey Soy Pork Roast
This is what we had for dinner tonight. It is tasty, savory and full of Asian flavors.
- 3-4 lb pork roast
- 3/4 cup honey
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sesame (or olive) oil
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp dried cilantro
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp dried mustard
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Dry pork, season all over with salt and pepper, and place in slow cooker. In separate bowl, combine all other ingredients and pour over pork. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Remove meat from crock and slice or shred; return to crock and allow to sit in sauce until ready to serve.
We had this with simple buttered rice and roasted veggies. It was delish!
Something About Blogging Platforms
A fellow blogger is making the move to WordPress from Google’s Blogger service. The blogger said that lots of people are doing that and that there seemed to be some issues with the function of the platform. In looking at Blogger’s twitter account I discovered that there hasn’t been a new post since May whereas WordPress posted an article on October 21. That isn’t good or is it?
I think what goes on behind the scenes is important when choosing a blogging platform. New features are important as long as they enhance functionality and improve workflow. Sensible changes can improve your experience and when the platform works the way it should you can focus on creating and connecting vs. always doing maintenance.

Well the fall colors weren’t happening due to the drought conditions we are having in the region. However we did explore a very charming town with a great assortment of things to see and do. It was a great day of getting out and going to a state I hadn’t been to in 17 years.

AT&T to buy Time Warner in media mega-deal – Oct. 22, 2016 – CNN Money
AT&T and Time Warner have agreed to an $85 billion deal — one of the biggest media tie-ups ever.The move, announced Saturday evening, will help AT&T expand beyond wireless and Internet service into programming. Time Warner is the parent of CNN, TNT, HBO, the Warner Bros. studio, and other channels and websites. AT&T to buy Time Warner in media mega-deal – Oct. 22, 2016
This move caught me off guard. Granted I wasn’t looking for it though. AT&T and TimeWarner are two of America’s largest distribution and media companies. I am not sure this is good for competition or for diversity in opinions. We will have to see how this shakes out or even gets approval by the federal government. AT&T recently bought DirecTV and TimeWarner was bought by AOL years ago and spun AOL off to independent operation. Again, wow, this is huge!
