How could I forget?

Last night I was so disappointed that I couldn't upload a video to this blog, I completely forgot about posting a photo of the pork end loin roast that we cooked up for yesterday's lunch. I salt and peppered the 11 lb 8 oz beast and stuck it in the oven at 170 degrees, and it cooked all night long. In the morning, it was 145 degrees (which is just shy of perfect) but it was creamy white on the outside. So we cranked it up for the last 45 minutes until we left for the dock, during which it had time to sizzle, crackle and brown deliciously. We probably ate two thirds of that roast during the fishing trip! But I'd put it to you to eat less than that when you have a slice of homemade sourdough bread in your hand, the carefully caught juices swirling enticingly in the foil underneath the roast right in front of you, and the juicy, warm, fatty roast with its crispy edges just waiting to be sliced into.

Also, I forgot to post a photo of 1 of the 3 coolers we brought home full of fish. We just got home from fishing again today, but I have to get on filleting so I'll get to blogging further later.
