@Rockhead,
found one last apple, chopped it up
chunked up a giant red onion
threw both in casserole
covered apple/onion with a large jar of pickled red cabbage
plopped pork roast on top - covered it in bacon
tossed the whole mass into the oven
potatoes have boiled
it looks like it's gonna be good
skipped the squash - will stuff it with tonight's leftovers for tomorrow and roast that
