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.

Made this for dinner tonight, and it was amazing! Seriously, I will be dreaming about it tonight. Thanks so much!
Glad you liked it Jenna!!
Made this for dinner tonight, but added carrots. It was awesome!!! Thanks
Glad you liked it Kristin! Nice touch with the carrots!
Juli, this is the BOMB!!! I made this last week for my parents for Sunday lunch. Served it with roasted sweet potato, onion & fennel….WOW!! Empty plates all round!! This will be a regular in our household. Thanks
ooo love the additions to the dish!! glad you liked it!!
This is in the crockpot as we speak… I’m excited!!! I subbed mashed parsnip for the onions, love onions but am intolerant to them 🙁 Hoping the parsnips are a good addition…..!
It smells soooo good already – Only 3 hours or so til dinner time!!
Just recently came across this site and am loving it! Great recipes, and your stories and rants have me in stitches laughing!
Thanks Juli – You rock!!! 🙂
Thanks so much Michelle!! Hope it turns out delicious!
It was SO yum!!! And have some left over for other meals this week yaaaay 🙂
I ate with a baked sweet potato – The flavours worked so well together. Can’t wait to try out some of your other recipes!
I wish baked sweet potato just appeared out of the sky
Me too! It’s probably my favourite thing to eat in the world… Ever! With Kerrygold butter…. *drools*
This evening I’m going sweet potato again, cut in chunks and tossed in melted butter, salt, pepper and cinnamon. Wrapped in bacon…. Pop in the oven for 40 minutes or so. These are actually chunks of heaven! 🙂
Made this night and holy YUMM! And pretty cheap too, with a 2.5lb roast from Whole Foods costing 10 bucks and the apples and onion are such a minimal cost! I’m fairly certain this will feed me for a few days 🙂
Yeah totally cheap!! Hope it tastes good every meal!
This was awesome! I had a friend come into town for the Open WOD this weekend and made this for saturday night. Loved it and it was perfect for that huge protein craving I had. And super easy!
PS You are freaking hilarious 🙂
Lol thank you Jess, glad one person finds me funny 😉 glad you liked the meal!
I just saw this post via ChowStalker and I have to tell you: Today, you are my hero.
Why?
1. You talked about picking your nose in the car. That takes balls to admit. And yes, I do it, and yes, I’ve seen other people do it.
2. I, too, am that crazy not-drunk girl who dances like a maniac at the bar. I’ve never enjoyed being hammered, but I sure as hell love dancing like I am!
3. This recipe is exactly what I needed today. OK, yes, I realize I can’t make it when I get home from work and eat it for dinner–it does take 6-8 hours to cook. But I took a pork roast out of the freezer last night without any clue as to what I should do with it, but knowing I wanted to have it for dinner either tonight or tomorrow. Tomorrow it is! Thank you!
Lol thanks so much for reading my blog Heather!! Hope you like the recipe!! I’ll be looking like an idiot a lot this weekend
Had the french toast for breakfast, and now this is in my crockpot. You have officially made my life better.
Thanks for you amazing recipes!!
Glad you like it Jami!!
Tried this a few days ago. It was my first time making anything remotely akin to pulled pork.
I didn’t have a crockpot, so I made it in the oven following a mix of various instructions I found online, so there probably were a few useless steps, but here is how I went;
– 10 mins at 450F
– 4 hours at 200F
– 2 hours at 250F
Must have taken all of 40 seconds to shred the pork. The pork itself has subtle flavouring, but once mixed with the juices, apples and onions, YUM!
That’s so awesome Ariane! Thank u so much for the tips!
I am new to the meat eating world and the crockpot world. I am having a blast with your recipes, thank you so much! Not quite sure what I am doing wrong when it comes to the crockpot though. This was my second crockpot recipe (first of yours) and the meat came out dry again. I used 2 1/2 pound boneless pork roast and covered half of it with chicken stock on low for 8 1/2 hrs. Should I be turning the meat? Flavors were yummy though!! Any advice to this newbie would be greatly appreciated 🙂 Thanks again!
Just add a bit more liquid whether that be broth or water!!
I use a dutch oven in the oven instead. My crockpot ALWAYS cooks too hot. Your slow cooker may be cooking at too high a heat. Maybe try shorter cooking time?
