So the holiday season is upon us now, and while the rest of the United States is gearing up to buy and buy some more, my wife and I are looking to reduce the amount of clutter we have in our lives. In a way it feels good to purge and get rid of that stuff that I haven't even looked at in five years. Hopefully no one will buy us stuff to take it's place!
Last night I made my first attempt at a slow cooked pulled pork. I recently purchased a new slow cooker (the new ones are great - very easy cleaning). The plan was to have sandwiches last night, but because we did not get back from Chicago until late, I did not get it started in time to have it for dinner that night. I also used a leaner cut of pork (the butcher was out of boston butt) that required additional cooking time. When I checked it at 11PM last night, it wasn't quite right, so I let it cook through the night - almost 17 hours of cooking! When I woke up this morning, the meat just fell apart. I can't wait for dinner tonight!
Provided it came out good, I'll post the recipe in the near future.
