Sunday Dinner - sweet and sour pork

I can't express how happy and grateful I am, my wonderful  husband got back home on Saturday afternoon. After trying my level best to catch up on all the house work to ensure the house was perfect when he got home so all we could do was chill. As usual, it didn't work out, it turns out cleaning after renovations is no joke especially if it's being done by a some what physically challenged pregnant woman. I did the best I could. Cleaned the areas I knew we would spend more time in that part of the house. And was at the airport half an early to fetch my man.
I'm happy did I say that, yes I'm a very happy and blessed girl. It feels so good to have some one to talk to and hear them reply, some one to cuddle up with  and have descent conversations and laughs echoing in the house. Much better than talking to animals. They are also settled and happy since their dad is back.
Prior to Wayne's trip, his hard work was acknowledged and it got nods from his bosses. I'm so proud of him. We didn't get the chance to celebrate so I decided I would make Sunday dinner special.
I tried out a recipe I have used before for sweet and sour pork.
I altered some bits here and there to suit us.
