You know when you’re in your car, driving away, listening to tunes, dancing (if you’re cool) and you start picking your nose, thinking for some reason no one can see you? No? I’m alone. Cool. I’m good at being the lone ranger. I do wonder how many people have seen me pick my nose though. Probably an alarming amount. But I’m really good with humiliation…obviously. I do it daily. Might as well do it in front of the public eye rather than just via blog posts. I won’t pick my nose in my cooking videos though, hopefully. My mother would literally stab me. Kidding.
My white bath mat has turned blue. I’m not sure what situation he got himself into to make himself change colors, but I’m angered with him because of it. Ok, it was actually my fault. I washed him with my darks. Why am I acting like my bath mat is a human being? God I’m weird.
Guess what Steph, Laura and I just got? Meaning guess what Steph just bought? A mini disco ball. For our living room. YEP. THAT’S RIGHT. We are going to have a legit dance part in our house. Sh*t is going to get wild. Meaning I’m going to be the DD and dance like a fool first in our living then on the dance floor at some random bar. You know when you’re at a bar and you see a girl dancing like a fool and you say “Wow, that girl is hammered”…yeah, I’m totally the girl you are talking about. But I’m not hammered. I just left my dignity at home with the disco ball.
Has pork ever made you feel drunk? This pork kind of made me feel a bit drunk. Maybe it was the two Americanos I had before I ate that made me talk a million words a second (exhibit A: the three paragraphs above) or the fact I just made love to some Coconut Creme Concentrate, either way, this pork was delicious. I freaking love ginger. I seriously only want to go to sushi get the ginger on the side of the plate. I hate sushi. I always tried to like it because it made me feel cool and mature, but when I eat it I feel like I’m going to crumble over and die. At least I can still eat ginger at sushi restaurants and have a really fresh palate. Fresh palates are cool.

I’ve made this several times. By far my favorite pulled pork. My friends love it too. I also halve 2 – 3 sweet potatoes, throw them on top and let them cook in there. So yummy!
I made this today and just sat down to enjoy my first bowl over some cauliflower “rice.” It’s good. But I sort of regret not using real ginger, and I only had regular paprika and think it would be better with the smoked paprika. The powdered ginger is just that, powdery. I can feel it in my mouth. Weird. And it’s very sweet; I wish there was a better balance of sweet & savory (hence missing the smoked paprika). I’d like to make this again sometime w/ the real ginger and actual smoked paprika. Maybe a tad more salt too. I do love the pairing with the “rice.”
made this last night and its delicious!!!! so many yummy flavors and perfect for a cold fall night.
When do you add the honey? With the spices at the end on top? Do you mix them all together or sprinkle/glob them in one at a time? Thanks!
yep, along with the spices, just pour it on
Thanks! I am trying it again today. Last time I used too small a roast for my crock pot and had brined the meat which was probably unnecessary and it was too salty but it smelled SO good cooking I had to try again. Plus it’s so easy and he meat did just fall apart. I got a bigger roast and it fills the crock pot more, more apples landed on top instead of falling to the sides, anyway, just looks better in there, ha. Perfect easy throw in day before thanksgiving kids home from school meal.
Made this today an served it with your garlic cauliflower mashed potatoes! Next time I need something crunchy to serve it with as well, but super yummy! My in-laws loved it too!
sounds good; gonna make this week and maybe add some red pepper flakes?
OMG this is SOOO good!!! Served with rice and some veggies. Can’t wait to make it again!
This is the first saucy meat I’ve had since going AIP 6 months ago and it was delicious!!! My entire family ate it up!
Made this for the first time today- amazing!!
I’m making this RIGHT NOW. It’s in the crockpot and it smells amazing. I can’t waaaaait!!
