Applesauce Pork Curry

There’s a reason pork is paired with apples  because they go together like peas and carrot,  Like peanut butter and jelly, the flavors just mix so well.  I make pork curry often but I found adding applesauce to it makes it  better. Well I don’t add applesauce , I add an apple and it adds so much flavor and substance to the dish. I use pork chops because I like flavor of the bones in my curry. I have a good knife that slices through bone like butter and I am not shy to use it.  If your squeamish about cutting  through bone use boneless pork.  This tasted really good with rice, bread or poured over a big salad.

On a personal note : I was travelling on the train yesterday and this beautiful song came out of the air and spoke to me. There are a lot of interpretations to this song but I ‘d like to think of it a as song of innocence, childlike trust and believing in who you are.  No matter what life throws at you , you hold your head high and believe in you.   Childlike trust …is that even possible as a grownup?  I tend to trust very  few people in my life and when I do, it’s with all my heart, I guess childlike.  Then stuff happens, people change, loyalties may shift  and I have to remind myself that no matter what, I turn to my creator who is the only one who really understands me and  is there for me no matter what.  So I hope you listen this beautiful song  and let it speak to you in its own unique way.

Listening to this song helps me regroup and place my trust on my creator who is our rock always!  Life is never perfect but we all find ways to help ourselves. You cry, wash your face and then let it go. No matter what the ending,  our life goes back to our creator who is the only one we should depend on. Love your friends and be there for them but remember to go back to your creator when you need strength.
