Our house smells delicious

The photo was taken at Clonmacnoise, in Ireland, and has nothing to do with the discussion. The house has the wonderful aroma at the moment. Vince’s brother is coming shortly and Vince has cooked a roast pork but with a difference. It has been simmering in lemon and ginger Zambucha plus some other spices. It smells delicious and it’s so nice that Vince felt inspired to cook tonight. I guess it’s a pot roast. I did my bit and peeled the vegetables for him! We’re going to watch a concert on TV and perhaps a film depending on the timing. Our national radio station has a competition each year for the top 100 classical pieces and the concert tonight will feature some of those pieces. Edit: The liquid should be Kombucha, not zambucha. Kombucha is a fermented, lightly effervescent, sweetened black tea drink.

Before reading the post, only one thing came to mind after seeing the title. What's in the oven? Pot roast or roast pork both smell delicious and would make a hearty meal. Classical music also a good accompaniment. Curious, what do you enjoy listening to?

Mostly we listen to classical music but I also like country and western and the pop/rock music that was popular when I was a teenager.

@JudyEv ~ I've only learn to appreciate classical music in my senior years. It was pop/rock music during my teen and young adult years.

@josie_ I think that is the same for many people. I learnt classical piano so I was always a bit used to some of it.

It turned out to be more like pulled pork. It was very nice but we probably won't do it again. It didn't really match up to a traditional roast pork.

@Ronrybs My Mum made the most amazing stuffing but never used a recipe.

@JudyEv My recipe involves opening the box and adding boiling water!

I do love the smell of a pot roast cooking, it is a lovely scent and for me very nostalgic as I can remember visiting Sundays and that smell coming from my gramma's kitchen. It is great that Vince is cooking again, that is a very good sign.

@JudyEv That is so wonderful. Really, when you think about it, this technology that we enjoy today is what our ancestors would have referred to as medical miracles.

I am sure that those spices are making your food smell deliciously. It's nice to listen to some classical music instead of those terrible modern musics.

@LadyDuck I felt so today as we walked right round the school just like we used to before the operation.

@judyev Our radio does the same, listeners voting for their favourite pieces and usually declaring Vaughan Williams’ Lark Ascending to be the winner. I can smell the dinner from here! In a good way.

It is wonderful Vince is feeling well enough to cook a roast. What exactly is ginger Zambucha, and how does it differ from regular ginger?

@JudyEv We have Kombucha here, and I have had it once or twice. I didn't know tea was the base though. I didn't know what it was..just that it is good for you!

I made an error and it's Kombucha, a flavoured black tea.
