Yes, it's rather early to be posting about Saturday evening's
meal, but I wanted to share how wonderful my house smells. I
had mentioned about two days ago about cooking a pork roast in
the Ninja Foodi using the slow cooker function. Well, my roast
is too large to fit into it, so it was plopped into the oval
crock of my former slow cooker.

I had far to little dried rosemary, so the cooking had to
wait until I hit the grocery store on Friday. Even though
this roast had been lounging in the refrigerator for two
days, it was still partially frozen. After getting a rub
down with salt, garlic paste, rosemary, a bit of oregano,
and some marjoram, into the oven it went. 325° for 8 hours,
but I will checking it a lot sooner than that.

I'm hoping enough broth will be produced to also cook some
extra wide egg noodles. Undecided what vegetable will
accompany this meal.

Your dinner plans for this first Saturday of May??

Sounds like a nice combo or herbs and spices. Bottle the smell and sell
it as an aerosol air freshener.

Pork here also. Grilled a large, thick bone in Duroc pork chop last
night. I'll finish it tonight,it was about 1.25#

I made corned beef and cabbage one time and my buddy
happened to stop by, as soon as he entered the house
he said 'wtf died in here'?

Then he went home and his wife was making the same thing,
it was St Patty's.

I'm pretty sure that at least one cow did indeed die. My house stinks
when I cook up some pork adobo. I love that stuff but as I get older,
it's getting harder to tolerate the smell.

It seems pork was choice of meat for at least three of
us here for Saturday evening!

Make that four. Pork ribs here, too. I made a spinach & cheese
quesadilla for lunch. Dinner tonight was a few (bought already cooked)
baby back ribs, heated in the oven. It's a rack of ribs so I there will
be leftovers for the next few days.

Ny roast was so tender it fell into four good size
chunks when I took it out of pot. Broth was super
concentrated so I did dilute it before adding the
wide noodles.

I'm stuffed.

You can bury 'em or eat 'em. What would Mother Gaia do?

Life was a lot simpler before man started growing plants. It was kill or
be killed. The way of nature is wise.

The Little Shop of Horrors

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Shop_of_Horrors

"The Little Shop of Horrors is a 1960 American horror comedy film
directed by Roger Corman. Starring a young Jack Nicholson, the film is a
farce about a florist's assistant who cultivates a plant that feeds on
human blood...

Florist shop owner Gravis Mushnick has two employees, Audrey Fulquard
and Seymour Krelboined. Located on skid row, Mushnick's rundown shop
gets little business. When Seymour fouls up a floral arrangement for
dentist Dr. Farb, Mushnick fires him. Hoping to change his mind, Seymour
talks about a plant he has grown from seeds he got from a "Japanese
gardener over on Central Avenue." Seymour names the plant "Audrey Jr.",
which delights Audrey...

The usual plant food does not nourish it, but when Seymour accidentally
pricks his finger, he discovers that the plant craves blood...

The plant develops the ability to speak and demands that Seymour feed
it..."

'Variety' wrote, "The acting is pleasantly preposterous...
Horticulturalists and vegetarians will love it..."

Jack Nicholson, recounting the reaction to a screening of the film,
states that the audience "laughed so hard I could barely hear the
dialogue. I didn't quite register it right. It was as if I had forgotten
it was a comedy since the shoot. I got all embarrassed because I'd never
really had such a positive response before..."

Omnivores in the wild would eat the rotting corpse while Bruce sits
around nibbling on grass or whatever the hell it is he eats.

Driverless trucks on their way?

https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2025/05/driverless-trucks-on-their-way.html

"Aurora Innovation, Inc. (NASDAQ: AUR) has successfully launched its
commercial self-driving trucking service in Texas. Following the closure
of its safety case, Aurora began regular driverless customer deliveries
between Dallas and Houston this week. To date, the Aurora Driver has
completed over 1,200 miles without a driver...

The milestone makes Aurora the first company to operate a commercial self-driving service with heavy-duty trucks on public roads. Aurora
plans to expand its driverless service to El Paso, Texas and Phoenix,
Arizona by the end of 2025...

Tesla will begin producing 50,000 Semis a year at its new factory in
Nevada later this year. Every one of them will be ready for eventual
driverless operation...

As soon as the kinks are worked out, drivers will be able to remotely
supervise fleets of trucks instead of sitting in one. And they will be
at home with their families at the end of each shift..."

If the new pope is a Filipino, there will be much stinky pork adobo
cooking in the kitchens around the world.

We need a world filled with autonomous semis hauling freight around.
Human drivers are causing too much grief. The schools that train drivers
are mostly scams. We don't have many of those big trucks on this rock.
Praise the Lord!

From the site you posted:

"Large trucks accounted for:

6% of all vehicles involved in fatal crashes
10% of total vehicle miles traveled..."

Overall, not too bad...

In my workforce gigs, I've placed hundreds of clients in CDL (truck
driving) training programs... there are more good - and even excellent
ones - than not, they are licensed and heavily regulated by the state,
so if they are "scammy", they don't last long... one our agency
reported to the state, and they were eventually shut down...

Here in Chicagoland, many of the schools are run by Mexicans and Poles,
as many of those peeples are in the trucking industry...

Also, in the last several years I placed TONS of Ukrainian immigrants in
truck driving programs, they are excellent and diligent learners, and
they quickly complete the programs and then immediately get good jobs,
within a year they can be making six figures... several of my Uke
clients said they'd like to establish their own truck driving schools
sometime in THE FYOOTURE...

A number of my Uke clients were married couples, they both want to
drive, and driving long - distance all over the states is something they
look forward to, they can see the country while being paid...

Also, about a third of my truck driving training clients were women...

BTW, many of the health care training programs (nursing... ) are run by Filipinos...

For Christmas one year, one of these schools dropped off a bunch of
lumpia for our staff... "My mom made this lumpia!", they said, very nice peeples...
